LOVE this hotel! The pool has a little area that younger kids can stand on, it’s perfect for littles! You can walk across the street to the beach, and there’s the best restaurant right next to it!!

This Rainforest Cafe had been on my to do list for so long! We finally were able to go. It’s the only Rainforest Cafe with a ride!! We all thought it was so much fun! Such a neat experience!
This restaurant was directly next to our hotel! Outside it had a little grass area with a few toys to keep kids busy! The food and drinks were delicious! We were not disappointed!
