Overall, my family and I had a wonderful time at this resort, especially with its proximity to Legoland making it super convenient for our kids. The rooms were spacious and featured a full kitchen, which allowed us to prepare meals comfortably. However, we encountered noisy neighbors a couple of nights that disrupted our sleep, and the dining options could use some improvement. The facilities like the pool were family-friendly and enjoyable for everyone.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. On one hand, the proximity to Legoland is fantastic, making it a convenient spot for families. The amenities for kids are enjoyable and kept them entertained. However, the hotel is currently undergoing construction, which was quite disruptive during our stay, and the room cleanliness left a lot to be desired. Overall, it's a decent option if you're looking for family-friendly activities, but it’s not without its issues.
