"Loved the fun, whimsical decor of the hotel, my kids thought it was Willy wonkas hotel! Made it very fun and exciting. The choice dice in the room was a highlight for them too! Great comfy beds, clean and felt luxurious. Only issue was that the pool wasn't heated and nowhere was it stated online that it wasnt' a heated pool..which was a big reason we chose to stay at Naumi. If it wasn't for that it would have been a 10/10 stay. Would still choose to go back thoigh. Very cool hotel."
