Great Splash Park!

“My daughter absolutely loved the splash park! It had fun slides and plenty of options for kids under 12, making it a fantastic spot for family enjoyment. We spent hours there playing together, and it was definitely a highlight of our trip.” view full review

Decent Dining Options

“While the dining experience had its ups and downs, I found the Tex-Mex restaurant, Hacienda, to serve some pretty decent dishes. The fajitas and guacamole were quite tasty, providing a nice contrast to the otherwise bland meals at the buffet. I appreciated that there were multiple dining options available, even though making reservations could be a challenge.” view full review

Comfortable Accommodations
