Excellent service and perfect getaway for a family with children.
2-night trip

6/10

Lovely hotel, and handy if you are visiting the world of adventures, or local area. Unfortunately, let down by the girl managing the check-in desk at check in, the lady managing the restaurant desk for breakfast and the fact that the staff don't care about issues raised about people shouting and banging about in the hallways at night
4-night trip

8/10

This is a great hotel - it would be fab for family stays. But when the park is closed, its a good place to stay on business because the rooms are really comfortable and the food is nice.

Great hotel smells amazingly at all the time apart from the toilets next to the swimming pools. Trouble to watch TV , the food and drinks are very expensive. They have decent activities for kids.

On arrival hotels.com had not communicated my booking and the hotel were unaware of it. The staff were trying to help. They managed to sort me a room not for the same price wasn’t offered anything for the inconvenience, the room was pretty gross, the bathroom stank of urine, the chair had a rip in it, one single bed was so soft almost broken, just very basic and for the money you pay not good enough.

OK hotel. Staff were very friendly. Shower in my room was very weak. Breakfasts were decent. Evening food wasn't the best. Not a bad stay.
3-night trip

10/10

Short stay on a work trip. It is very relaxing and welcoming. Safari themed rooms add to the relaxing atmosphere. A place to visit with the kids and family. Ample free parking, the restaurants serve tasty meals. Mostly buffet breakfast however a few times it has been table d'hote.

Arrived to find that the restaurant and swimming pool were fully booked. Paid for a room with a view of the reserve no animals were out during our stay. The bit of the zoo we could see was hard to see the animals as the window was so dirty.
