Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

What distinguishes this place from the others on the busy front is that it's well equipped for families and has some creative cost-saving services. The central pool areas have elaborate fountains and a fun meandering pool suited to kids of all ages, and there are kids' programs and a kids' club; plus there's a babysitting service when parents want some time off. There are lots of family activities and excursions to choose from. Family Suites with separate "kids' rooms" come with jungle- or pirate-theme decor, TV with video and PlayStation, stocked toy boxes, and some with bunk beds. The hotel also has a self-service launderette, so you don't have to pay hotel laundry prices. Also unique is the hotel's minibar scheme -- rooms have just a bare fridge, but guests can pick out supplies from a small convenience store in the lobby and have them delivered for not much more than standard minibar prices. Facilities: 3 restaurants; lounge; 4 outdoor pools; fitness center; kid's club; tour desk; car-rental desk; airport transfer; business center; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning and self-service launderette.
