The park offered a wide range of activities for children, which made our family stay memorable, especially with the engaging evening entertainment. We loved the heated swimming pool, and the on-site shop was quite convenient. However, we did encounter some issues with the cleanliness of our accommodation, which dampened our experience a bit.
