Great for admission to waterpark
Pros:

We stayed at the hotel for the benefit of having admission to the waterpark included. We enjoyed the park! Big waterslides and a big play area for kids (with a dumping bucket), plus a lazy river. The staff who run the breakfast at the hotel in the morning were great!

Cons:

The prices at the restaurant in Watiki (Sliders) are too expensive for our tastes but there are a lot of other options in the nearby area. We waited a while to check-in - there's no bell or way to let the front desk staff know that you are waiting if they are in the back room. Finally, my husband knocked on the door and someone came out, but it would be good to have a way to let them know you are there.

An epic place to stay with kids!
Pros:

Omg! What DIDN’T I like?? This place was epic! The gym was well equipped, the room was clean, bed was comfortable, the shower hot and the indoor waterpark was AMAZING!!!! Our 9 year old spent 5 hours going up and down the slides! The breakfast was delicious and Jane and Kevin that ran the breakfast were absolutely LOVELY! What a wonderful asset to the business they are!

Cons:

Nothing! It was amazing!

Great hotel.
Pros:

Convenient location. Comfortable bed. The water park and the arcade look super fun, but I didn’t get a chance to go.
