This was our 10 year anniversary trip with the kids. We visited this same hotel 10 years ago for our honeymoon so we were really excited to revisit as we had amazing fond memories! The rooms are in very good condition with a modern look and feel. Pools are great - our 2 kids loved their kids pool which was conveniently right outside our room. The reception staff didn't offer anything complimentary considering we were revisting after 10 years for our anniversary which would have been special, but not necessary. The only dissapointment was that the breakfast buffet is no longer available, and the cost for breakfast is super expensive - please bring the breakfast buffet back! Their breakfast menu does not cater for smaller portions for the kids. It seems people bring their own breakfast shopping from a Costco or Target store nearby. Generally staff around the grounds are incredibly friendly and the surrounding scenery is just paradise!
