Great hotel for kids, love the themed areas, animals and pool. The only think that let our start down was not being able to eat on site as the restaurant was full until 8pm and that we could use the Beefeater down the road! We didn’t want to go back out after a full day at the park especially with a tired 3yr old! Apart from this we had a positive experience.

Excellent resort hotel, just right for the kids. Restaurants were very busy and booking early was advised, but this is probably an unavoidable consequence of Corvid. Very well managed and helpful staff. We stayed in animal view, Aztec themed room which the kids loved.
