“The nightly water light show offers a unique experience, enhanced by on-site dining and the full-service marina. I think families will appreciate the proximity to Legoland and the option for pet-friendly accommodations. While some may find the rooms need updating, the outdoor amenities and engaging local events really stood out to me.”
