    I enjoyed staying in a self-contained cabin with its nearby lagoon and surf beach.

    Loved the facilities for the kids and it was very easy to relax and unwind. The park was very quiet at night which was great, even though there were a lot of people staying. The location is amazing. The staff were really helpful and friendly....

    The cabin was just what we needed, perfect size for 2 adults and a toddler. Great location near the waterfront. Bed was comfy bed and the cabin looked really new! The splash park was perfect for little kids.
