Property itself was nice and convienent for access to the Waterpark. Our tv didn’t work, but I’m sure staff would have been accommodating had we brought it up as an issue. Staff was friendly and always accessible. Utensils are in kitchen area for use, but my first experience ever having sharp kitchen utensils stored at toddler level. May be a suggestion to keep in the top drawer or even cabinet.

Nice stay for family with a kitchenette. The hotel is connected to Watiki water park indoor which is great and convenient.

The rooms were good size wise for a family. But it was dirty when we arrived with the previous occupants garbage in two places. The staff at “free breakfast” were rude and not helpful. The breakfast was awful and so limited. They didn’t even offer something as basic as toast. Coffee was out most days we went, cereal was out another day, oatmeal was out another day. When you ask a staff member if more food was coming they never knew! Not sure why they were working in the breakfast area if they didn’t know what food was available. All and all the worst breakfast I’ve ever seen at a hotel. Water slides were great, a bit of an odd set up with getting wristbands upstairs through another hotel but you figure it out.

We arrived two hours before the slides closed. Only to find out that it was an additional fee for access to the water park. I paid more for the hotel think g the water slides were included. Also, I called the front desk to ask if we could get two queens instead of a king and pullout couch for our children. I was told we could not switch rooms with no explanation why. The breakfast was another reason we chose Residence in and we could not use it either since it didn’t open until 6:30 and we have to check out early. It would have been nice to have some food before leaving. The Bed was descent. The coffee was bad

The lobby is very nice. Breakfast is served during the week until 9am which is very early for those of us without kids on vacation. The hallway smelled pretty bad. There is no housekeeping services unless you ask for it which we did not. We were not told until a few days into our trip that we could use the hot tub from the water park. The hotel does not have a pool. I kept going back for towels as needed so I can’t say how the housekeeping staff are since I felt as though I was my own housekeeper.

The only thing better about the amazing service here was the extremely epic rooms. They we well laid out with plenty of room. They even gave us amok I (G) rooms so our family could be together. The waterpark was a nice bonus for the kids.
