Pros:

Room set up was nice.
Relaxed and cozy
Nice little garden to walk outside
Restaurants and gaming zone are owned by them so thoughtfully designed.

Cons:

They should keep more toilet related essentials but that doesn't leave a big negative.

But that needs to thought off.
Beds were OK.

enjoyed our stay. Had dinner at the restaurant and it was very good.
Pros:

Clean tidy room. So many beds to fit us all in

Cons:

only one 2 seater couch for all of us, the rest had to sit at the dining room table. Maybe need a larger couch for a family room. everything else was great
