The pool was the best, went with 7 kids and they enjoyed. For housekeeping there wasn't any hand towels or wash rags only bath towel and floor mat which we got change daily. Also got daily water, a huge + for that. Variety of buffet with different restaurant close by. Had issue with the door and key card but the staff was pompt in fixing it. This is a great place for family with kids, will recommend it
