Pros:

I hate to leave one of these reviews, but it's important if you have allergies or sinus issues. I've had friends who stayed here 6 months ago and had no issues, that's also important to note. The rooms were really musty and mold-smelling. I've had issues with mold before, I know that smell. The staff was very accommodating and helpful, they did all they could for us, even trying another room, which has a worse mold smell than the first one. Eventually, we ended up being transferred to the main hotel - pirates cove. We had a great time at the hotel. Legoland is great, I think the beach property needs a little love in terms of the rooms. I would rebook in the main hotel but NOT at the beach retreat. I hope this helps other families make decisions on where to stay!

Pros:

First time for us. Not the best experience first room was dirty with roaches, we got switched to another room with no AC and mold. After hours we finally got a clean room with AC working. Place is overpriced needs to be updated. 0 stars from me. Never again

Pros:

This is a child’s dream come true. I only wish it was around when I was little. We felt so safe, they have security on golf carts, life guards, the friendliest staff. We will definitely be back. It is the first time my daughter had independence, she would walk to the restaurant, make me coffee, and bring it to the bungalow. She made friends in other bungalows and they would play in the playground. We loved it.

Pros:

We didn't actually stay at the Beach Retreat. It was closed (?) and no one even notified us of this, which was highly irritating. Thankfully they put us in a room in the hotel, which usually would have been more expensive, so it worked out. Having seen how far the beach retreat is from the hotel and park though, I wouldn't book it again.

Pros:

The property is clean and well maintained. The room is beautiful and updated. The breakfast is good. The ssrvice is OK. No a lot of things to do beside the pool area. I wish it would have had a legos playing area, like the hotel has in the lobby.

Pros:

Rooms are adorable! My boys loved it. I would have loved a coffee pot in the room and more ice machines. There was only one and it was out of order on our 2nd day. It was also a very long walk to the one ice machine. The food at the restaurant was less than mediocre and definitely not worth the money.. We paid over $14 for a hamburger that we couldnt even get cooked to our liking. The nachos were no better than taco bell.

Pros:

Check in was hell since by the time we got to the resort it was around 7p and none of my visa cards would work for a $50 pre. authorization hold and my bank was closed to call. We even went and got a pre paid visa and that wouldnt work neither.
