Just loved that you could just stay at the property as it had everything that you needed there. eg Food, Pool, play areas. The staff were amazing. There was nothing that I didn't like but maybe the breakfast for the little ones could have been a bit cheaper. Say, Up to a certain age eat free or $5 to $10 as I really think $17 was a bit high.
