We had a pleasant stay at this resort with its great pools and spacious junior suites. The breakfast buffet was a delightful perk, and the pools offered plenty of options for the whole family. However, walking around the resort can be a bit much at times, and my experience with the water temperature in the shower was frustrating.

The junior suites were roomy, featuring a king-sized bed, sofa bed, and a desk, making them quite comfortable for our family.

The staff was accommodating, especially when I raised concerns about the sliding area by the pool, which showed they are attentive but perhaps needed better resources for guest injuries.

Staying at this hotel felt more like being at a crowded waterpark than a relaxing resort. While the hot springs were beautiful and varied, the overwhelming number of day pass visitors really took away from the overall experience. The rooms were clean but not as plush as I expected for the cost. I was disappointed with the dining options as the food quality was poor and not suitable for hotel guests seeking decent meals.

We enjoyed our stay at this resort. The hot springs were stunning and not overcrowded, making for a relaxing experience. Our family loved the spacious rooms and morning views from the balcony, but we did feel a bit uneasy about leaving our belongings by the pools due to the day passes sold to visitors. While the dining was pretty good, we found the prices for drinks to be quite steep. Overall, we had a great time but faced some challenges with service and pool towel availability.

I had a wonderful experience at this stunning resort. The landscaping and pools are absolutely gorgeous, and the ambiance is luxurious. The only downside was the dining experience; I found it overpriced for what you get, and the service was a bit lacking at times. Overall, it's a fantastic location with plenty to offer, especially for families.
