I attended a work conference at the hotel, and while the venue and catering were excellent, my experience with the room and check-in process was far from ideal. I faced several issues with staff service, room quality, and the amenities provided, which was quite disappointing, especially given the expectations for a corporate stay.

We had a decent stay at the resort. The pool area was enjoyable for the kids, and it was conveniently close to Sea World, which made our visits easy. However, the noise levels were quite high, especially during peak times, and the room cleanliness left a lot to be desired. Overall, it's a reasonable option for families but with some areas needing improvement.

We had a lovely stay at the resort, which was very convenient for visiting all the nearby theme parks. The room was spotless and well-decorated, and the service from the staff was exceptional throughout our visit. However, the breakfast experience was a bit chaotic, with long lines, and some minor housekeeping timing issues. Overall, I would recommend it for a fun family getaway, especially with the pool and water park facilities.

We had a wonderful family holiday at this resort! The staff were amazing and incredibly helpful, making our stay very enjoyable. The inclusion of SeaWorld tickets in our package was a fantastic bonus, providing excellent value for our family. However, it was disappointing to see so much single-use plastic in the dining outlets, considering the focus on conservation. Overall, we loved our spacious room and the amenities, and we're definitely planning to return soon!
