My stay at the resort was a mix of highs and lows. The location near LegoLand was perfect for my family, and we loved the spacious rooms with balconies offering great views. However, the service left much to be desired, especially during breakfast. The dining options were limited, and there were some billing issues at checkout that added to the frustration. Overall, the experience was enjoyable thanks to the wonderful views and spacious accommodations, but there is definitely room for improvement.

This hotel offers a mixed experience; while the pool area and amenities are enjoyable, the noise levels from nearby attractions can be disruptive, and the service leaves room for improvement. The dining options vary in quality, and though the location is great for families visiting Legoland, it might not suit everyone due to the heavy presence of children. Overall, it's decent, but there are better options in the area for the price.

While the hotel has beautiful facilities and is situated conveniently near attractions, my stay was marred by some disappointing service issues. The dining experience offered some fantastic meals, especially dinner, but there were bumps in the overall stay that made it less enjoyable than I had hoped for.

Rooms

The rooms were quite basic for a hotel of this brand, lacking in amenities and some furnishings. The two king-size beds were comfortable, but the overall lighting and available space felt limited.

My recent stay at the hotel was a delightful experience overall, highlighted by the fantastic service and breathtaking views from my room. The staff went out of their way to make my visit memorable, and I truly enjoyed the spacious room. However, the check-in process was a bit underwhelming, and I did encounter some issues with room accessibility that could be improved.

I was upgraded to a suite on the 4th floor of the water view tower, providing a stunning vista. The room was spacious and beautifully decorated, although the bathroom felt a bit small compared to the overall room size.
