Family-focused reviews and ratings
My family had a blast! The kids were entertained for hours with all the pool activities - the slide, ping pong, billiards - and we even made s'mores by the fire pits. Legoland access was a huge plus!
The Cove pool was very nice! Great location near Legoland, and the 7 Mile Kitchen had amazing pizza and live music. A fantastic family getaway!
Relaxing and enjoyable family getaway. Excellent facilities and delicious food at nearby restaurants.
Our family of six was upgraded to a HUGE three-bedroom suite! The resort is massive but the shuttle service was convenient. Plenty of pools and activities for the kids.
This place is amazing for families! So many activities, great location, and the staff went above and beyond. I loved the nightly s'mores by the fire pit and the easy access to Legoland.
