My stay at the resort was quite the experience. I loved the range of accommodations available, from tents to villas, and found the two-bedroom villa we stayed in to be very comfortable. The daily happy hour at the pool was a delightful touch, but I did have some issues with the size of the room being smaller than expected. Overall, it's a nice place for family gatherings, but the shared bathroom could be a downside for some.

I had a comfortable stay at the park, which offered everything we needed for a pleasant experience. The location was great, close to the CBD and local attractions, along with nice amenities like a pool area and bar. However, I did notice some cleanliness issues in areas like the marquee during an event, which took away from the overall experience. The noise levels at night from nearby areas could also be a concern for light sleepers.

My stay was quite enjoyable overall, with a comfortable cabin and great service from the staff. While the facilities were fun, there were some issues with cleanliness and outdated amenities. The location was perfect for exploring the surrounding area. However, my initial booking experience was disappointing, so make sure to clarify your accommodations beforehand.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. On the positive side, the location is just a short drive from a shopping center, which was convenient. However, the service left much to be desired, with unhelpful staff and maintenance issues that detracted from my comfort. The cleanliness of the room was questionable, especially with pest issues and noise disturbances that interrupted my sleep.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. The room was clean and inviting, which was a plus, and the amenities like the pool were well-maintained. However, I found the noise from the bar and the freeway to be quite disruptive during my stay. While the amenities were good, the lack of free Wi-Fi and overall noise level were significant downsides that affected my overall stay.
