the animation team engaged everyone, trying to get people involved, i guess it met my expectations.

I found cockroaches in my room, and that ruined the experience. It's not something i expected, and it made me uncomfortable. I saw them in the room at night.

the entertainment was not great i thought the music selection was strange it did not really have a holiday theme. the kids' disco was too late for younger children. also the shows rotated weekly so repeats occurred for longer stays that was disappointing.

i enjoyed that activities were scheduled throughout the day. the high ropes course provided a fun challenge for all ages. our family loved spending time at both the pools and water slides at a reasonable price.

the paper cups used at the bar felt a bit wasteful, though the service was always quick.
