The room was amazing in size and great that they can set it up for a family with young kids. I will say the roll out cot bed was deeply uncomfortable though! For the money you pay I would hope guests could use the beds by the kids swimming pool without having to pay extra. The food at this pool was also pretty bad. But elsewhere, such as the breakfast, was really good.
