Themed rooms, swimming pool, having breakfast while watching out to an expanse of green grass with zebras, an ostrich and antelope wondering around. Made it a great stay. Perfect for kids. The new paw patrol area in the park is fantastic. Early access for hotel guests into the park. Just back from a super holiday.

The bedroom had excellent air con and was quiet. Free access to a small part of the zoo was a nice surprise. The restaurant staff were great. The only downside was the food, which was very expensive given the mediocre quality.

Amazing, absolutely amazing!! Not sure what else to say but amazing! Not only do you get an extra hour in the park before it opens to the public each morning your staying at the hotel, after the pack closes you have a section of the park available to you via an entrance at the hotel, was a nice stroll with my wife and daughter, absolutely amazing, my only criticism is the prices at the bar, a bit high but I guess you pay for the experience

The staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel parking was convenient and adjacent to the park entrance. However the decor was quite tired across the hotel and in our room. There were a couple of stains on the carpet and water marks on the bathroom floor. Overall a pleasant overnight stay.
