family friendly resort

smooth check-indelicious breakfastfriendly staffwarm water
the check-in was smooth, and an app provided hotel details. the buffet breakfasts were lovely (the fruit selection was fantastic!). the pool access family room had two tvs and a separate kid's area. i appreciated the direct pool access from our family room. staff members were also consistently friendly and helpful.
the water in the main pools felt too warm, like a bath. i found myself spending more time in the splash park with the kids because it was cooler. it would be great if the hotel could adjust the water temperature in the main pools.

the location is quite convenient. local shops are very close. several cafes and restaurants are nearby. the variety of pools was great too, there were multiple options to choose from.
The air conditioning in the room wasn't working properly. i reported this to reception on three separate days, even requesting a fan. there was no action taken other than a plate of fruit sent to our room. the toilet was blocked as well and no one came to fix it. We cleared the blockage ourselves.
