Why we love it

The fun begins from the moment you walk into the lobby! You’ll feel instantly drawn in by the memorabilia dedicated to each 20th century decade on the walls. The main pool is one of our favourite features, with all the over-sized figures that really bring the resort to life and make it especially entertaining for kids! Little ones will also love the playground and arcade on days away from the parks.
