Very clean property. The pool was great for the kids. Wish there was a continential breakfast. We did avail of the cafe/restuarant and went with room service. The portions were small and some items we ordered were forgotten when our food arrived- when the server did come to bring those drinks/sides some were still forgotten but we didn't mention it as our meals were getting cold and the kids were almost finished.

When we arrived there was no parking so my husband with MS had to walk up a big hill while I lugged our two children up. Get to the room and our keys didn’t work. The mini fridge stopped working in the middle of the night so I had to dump all our babies milk. They offered us a free breakfast for the inconvenience but we requested a refund and checked out instead. Horrible experience. Staff was kind and understanding though. Wouldn’t stay there again.
