The staff was friendly and helpful whenever I needed anything, and check-in and check-out were easy. I also appreciated how comfortable and welcoming the property felt throughout my stay. I would definitely consider staying here again and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area."

They have free marshmallow bonfires, complimentary shuttles to the sea world, ping-pong, movie nights, and other fun kids’ activities. The breakfast was okay, but overall, we really enjoyed our stay. This is definitely a very kid-friendly environment, and I would recommend it to families looking for a fun and welcoming place to stay."
