Pros:

Breakfast...? We cooked our own, so I guess it was good ;)

Cons:

Price was a bit high. People that booked at same time as I did secured a special deal paying less than 1/2 of what we did. That was pretty frustrating

Excellent. Highly recommended.
Pros:

Not applicable

Great stay
Pros:

The room was right in front of the waterpark, nice to see when waking up in the morning. Kids liked it, and seemed safe to let them go riding around. I liked how they have the lock box for the key for late arrival and early checkout.

Cons:

The bed was too soft. If i had to stay another night, i would have slept in the kids bunk... lol
