Nice room. Comfortable for 3 people. Neighbors a little noisy. We were there for 3 nights. Track down to hot pools is very steep which makes it hard for people that suffer from mobility issues and or chronic pain like my wife. We were only able to use the pools once because of the mobility issues.

Mineral pools well with visiting
Loved the private mineral pools nice to soak in. Room was clean and comfortable, Hilton hotel next door had a nice restaurant and bar which was convenient without us having to pay Hilton rates for a room.

Rooms were clean and tidy. Shower and toilet block were the cleanest I've seen for a tourist park. Most staff were very nice. I think were initially checked in by someone having a bad day.

Online photos make the property look far nicer than it is. The accommodation had been cleaned but smelled strongly of fried food. The pools were extremely rundown and unclean - used bandaids floating in the pool and there was a strong smell of urine in places. I think this place would have been awesome 20 years ago.
