    clean rooms
    beautiful pool
    breakfast service inconsistencies

    The rooms are clean and beautifully decorated with a coffee maker and high ceilings. I was impressed by the pool and spa. One employee stood out to me for going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. I would consider staying again because of her excellent service.

    I encountered some issues with staff training at the front desk, as there were times I needed assistance with simple requests. Additionally, I found some inconsistencies in the breakfast service, impacting the overall experience.

    Comfortable Family Stay with Great Service

    Enjoyed a three-night family getaway. The Deluxe King Room was spacious and quiet, perfect for unwinding after busy days. A meal at the onsite restaurant was delicious and convenient. The highlight was the exceptional staff—especially Patty, who went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcome. Highly recommend!

    The room was impeccably clean and well-maintained, providing a beautiful view of the courtyard. Staff members were exceptionally friendly and made our family feel right at home, which was a huge plus. However, the location was a bit further from Legoland than expected, and finding nearby dining options wasn't straightforward. Breakfast was good, but I was surprised that it wasn't complimentary as initially indicated. Kids eating free with an adult meal was a fantastic perk.

    poor jacuzzi maintenance
    noise issues
    limited parking

    The king-sized room was spacious and had exceptional pillows. The hotel was impressively clean and quiet, ensuring restful nights, while the location allowed easy access yet maintained a peaceful ambiance. The breakfast featured homemade pastries that were delicious, making mornings enjoyable. However, the jacuzzi was not well-maintained during my stay, which was disappointing, and I noticed some noise from nearby rooms at times. Overall, a comfortable stay with room for improvement in certain areas.

    The hotel offers plenty of fun activities like swimming and beachcombing nearby. Our service dog felt right at home, and the staff was incredibly attentive, especially during breakfast. I loved that Christa and Ricardo went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed.

    My children wished for a bigger playground area for outdoor fun.

    We checked in and were really impressed with the clean, spacious room and the lovely outdoor pool area for the kids to splash around in. The hotel had a nice patio space and cozy lounge area to relax after a long day. The only downside was a bit of a wait for dinner service, but it didn’t put a damper on our family getaway! 😊
