0.5/5Only as a cheap alternative to Nickelodeon, don’t expect…
Liked: closeness to Nickelodeon park. ok…
Heads-up for parents: Old noisy rooms, not very comfortable, cold swimming pools not suitable for little kids. Minibar not refilled daily.
-
4.5/5Great for families with little ones… we will return!
Liked: The more inclusive options are a great addition I used the airport shuttle, aqua nick x 2 and beach club access. Large rooms with nice views. Jacuzzi was a hit for the family especially with the included bubble bath and bath salts.
Watch out: Slow restaurant service especially at palms for lunch. Long lines for nightly buffet not cool with young kids.
