I booked this property for early access to the parks, express passes and to stay in a hard rock hotel for the first time. The room was sold as suitable for a family of 5 (kids ages 10-12) there were only 2 double beds and we had to pay an extra $35 plus tax for a roll out bed on top of the room price and parking price. I wouldn’t stay there again in a hurry. The cost weighed out the experience

Comfortable bed and shower. Staff talking loudly outside our room 1118 every morning woke us up, had to ask them twice to be quiet. Staff at pool not attentive, never came to us when in sun beds on two separate days to take drink orders, and last day in the bar area so we had to go to bar ourselves. Poor service for the price you pay, will not return even for complimentary express passes

Great hotel in an amazing location
We stayed here for two nights with our two children and it was fabulous. We made the most of express passes and early entry to enjoy the parks butoves being able to pop back and use the gorgeous pool. The staff were amazing and couldn't do enough for us. Highly recommended.

Not worth the extortionate price tag. RUDE STAFF
My daughter’s clothes, room pass card, and money were stolen from her sun lounger. Bearing in mind there were no sign posted lockers or any visible. You need to take your room key with you as it gives you access into the pool area. 3 members of staff I spoke to about helping me locate it and none were helpful at all. In fact the manger was down right rude. The guy on reception when I went back the following morning to see if the items had been handed in said. “ you know times are hard nowadays. People will take opportunity’s to take stuff, you win some you lose some “. Absolutely disgusting!! Bearing in mind she had just spent $27 on the lanyard and holder to hold her pass as you need the room key card to access all your park extras so not only did she lose her belongings and her money she lost them I eh she also spent on the items. I will not stay here again. The hotel is beautiful but if you look closer the carpets are stained and dirty.

Tired and poor service
The hotel staff were not the friendliest, even to get basic service out of them you had to tip. The room was never cleaned before 5pm despite us asking for earlier cleaning and we agreed late check out but a maid came knocking to remove us from the room at 11am. Second time staying disappointing to see standards slipping- if it weren’t for the staff express passes we wouldn’t stay again
