The cabin was super clean and had everything that you would need (plates, cups, water, and coffee). Even with how cold it was outside, it stayed warm and cozy inside. It was nice that the cafe was just a walk outside the cabin.

Perfect resort for family with a spacious living room and kitchen. Amazing location with just 8 mins walk to Legoland. Nice outdoor swimming pool with hot tub to end your day. Noted: You have to park your own car at their underground parking and carry your own luggages to your suite. It's still awesome and great Value!

It's clean, smells good. 🛌 are comfortable. 4 comfortable pillows on the bed. Housekeeping is on time. Valet parking $40, self $30 a day, not included in a price, also $35 resort charge, you pay extra.Pet friendly, no charge if it's a service dog. Nice place to stay, but a little expensive, specially if you book a room with a balcony.

The breakfast was delicious and well worth the money. The wait staff were very friendly and worked at fulfilling our orders. It was very satisfying. The staff were very helpful in all areas of the resort. When we wanted to take pictures of the flowers or even practice an instrument, staff werre more than willing to help us find the perfect place to do so.

The overall design and aesthetic of the hotel was interesting, not very cohesive but pretty and fun nonetheless. There was the classy somewhat old fashioned hotel lobby, tropical resort-like pool and outdoor lounge areas, then art deco futuristic rooms. Parking and check-in was easy, staff was friendly. The common areas for all visitors and guests were beautiful and looked well maintained.
