Breakfast was good except for the waiting time during peak hours where they took quite a while to clear tables and prepare the seating for us. Room was clean. Worth staying if there is an offer that comes with breakfast and maybe the water park( do note that during my recent visit to the water park, the wave pool was not properly maintain as water was dirty and the anti slip paint all peeling off) Will come and stay again if got chance as my family quite like it.

The swimming pool was great for the kids, they provided kids life vests so they were safe. The entrance to the waterpark was convenient. The beach was close too, can either walk for 5mins or take the hotel buggy. Parking area was close to our room, we registered during check-in and so the entry through the gantry was seamless. However, there were locks for the toilet.

I wdisspoijting - I think this venue is probably the weakest out of all the hotels / it lacks imagination and the food quality is low - especially compared to the hotel next door (westin) So many half touches here that could be so much better. Kids splash park - old , bits broken , poor quality - kids shop - low on items , poor range of sweets. Breakfast quality average , buffet dinner at weekend was ok - al a carte evening meal was very poor , wait time was long despite it being quiet and food was served like warm. Bedrooms are excellent , tv free movies and music channels are a nice bonus. Direct waterpark access is good - however that is dated and poor in quality . We had high hopes for this hotel but have left feeling it was just OK - certainly no where near a 5 star hotel as advertised. Need to go bigger and harder on the hard rock theme .
