This place is great for a family vacation. We wrestle there just after Christmas and my kids love it! The pool is really nice they have a kids activity room to keep kids busy while parents do other thing in the resort. The food in the restaurant is nice but they need more variety. Its a buffet so you can eat as much as you like. Kids eat for free so this is a plus! I will definitely recommend it.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the holiday inn. Very family friendly hotel with all the facilities you would expect of a resort of this quality. We particularly enjoyed the pool, pool bar, restaurant and beach volleyball. What really sets this place apart though is the service and the friendly staff. They really went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable- special thanks to Mayank at reception and Merelyn at the tour desk for all your help. Would definitely come back.
