Staff wasn't very friendly. No housekeeping. No fresh towels or anything done in the room. Was never notified to see if we needed anything or how our stay was going. The hallways and stairwell were filthy. Wasn't convenient getting into the building.

Excellent family holiday!!!

There is lots of activities to do at the resort. The rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. There is no ac in the room so I would recommend packing a fan. We loved all the activities right at the resort!!
