The staff was friendly and helpful, the food was good at the café and the hotel was very clean. There's a great pool but be aware that this is a newer hotel so there is only shade under umbrellas until the palms fill out more.

Great value hotel, very new and clean, with good onsite food options. Only downside was the room was not cleaned after we returned after a long park day. Shower water pressure is also not that great.
