Breakfast was pretty good, pool was nice, the room was big and clean. Our highlight was the petting zoo. The rabbits and hamsters were a hit and the gentleman taking care of them was very friedly and polite. The kids loved it.

We liked that hotel offered plenty of activities for kids: pool, kids club, animals, etc. Stuff was amazing and we definitely recommend it. They even offer you a free wine bootle that you can choose and take it with you in the room.
