forumWhat families say
Rakuten Travel rating 4.62 out of 5 (86 reviews). Families praise the pool for its play features for small children and its float rings available to borrow, and the sandpit for its shovels and buckets. Guests also mention diaper bins and bed-in-bed (in-bed baby sleeper) rentals, which put parents traveling with babies at ease. On the other hand, the children's slider is for ages 3 and up, and the float rings can run out when the pool is busy.
