Poor rooms

On arrival hotels.com had not communicated my booking and the hotel were unaware of it. The staff were trying to help. They managed to sort me a room not for the same price wasn’t offered anything for the inconvenience, the room was pretty gross, the bathroom stank of urine, the chair had a rip in it, one single bed was so soft almost broken, just very basic and for the money you pay not good enough.

Perfect hotel for us would stay here again and the staff we were amazing! We had to leave our room just before 10pm as the people next door to us were so loud it was keeping us awake, however the staff were amazing and had it not been for others staying it would have been perfect.

Really lovely staff. Very helpful and went the extra mile. We did have to wait nearly an hour to check in but that was a tech glitch and not to be held against the staff! We would have liked longer time in pool and dining areas and take away food was tiny portions and horribly expensive.

Fantastic family weekend stay

Overall, positive experience. The room in Azteca hotel was decent and clean. We had all we needed, including kettle with tea, coffe and hot chocolate. The kids loved the themed bunk-bed area. The double bed was very comfortable. The exclusive access to the part of the zoo with a play area in the evening after we arrived was a treat! This was the highlight of our stay, somethings other hotels can't beat. We had a difficulty with booking the restaurant, as this was a budy eeekend, and the restaurant in Azteca hotel was overpriced. We decided to eat out. We also were unable to book the splash pool on the day of arrival and the only available slot was at 9am the next day, 1 hour before our checkout, but we still made the most out of it. The splash pool didn't disappoint, and the kids had a lot of fun. The kids absolutely loved the hotel and didn't want to leave. This is definitely one of the best kids-friendly hotel we visited. What I was disappointed with was the lack of information from the reception staff on what is happening where. They gave us a sheet but appeared to be too busy or reluctant to explain things. For the first time commers this was a letdown, and I hope the management can address this, as we had to seek information from other members of staff. Despite this, i thoroughly recommend this hotel for families, and we are likely to be back.

This is a great hotel - it would be fab for family stays. But when the park is closed, its a good place to stay on business because the rooms are really comfortable and the food is nice.

Wonderful Stay

Easy parking and friendly check in staff. Beautifully decorated, clean room that put a big smile on my face. Slept really well and woke to Zebras playing in sun. Very nice breakfast with a good choice. Would love to bring my family next time. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

A disappointing return

Returned after a stay last year as the kids had been begging to go back. On check in we had some minor request to see if we could be placed in a room close to where family was. This was possible but were told it would take 2 hours to address as the manager would have to do it and she was busy. Others were told similar wait times. The same case in the restaurant where simple questions were deferred to supervisors to answer. Some things in the hotel that the kids were looking forward to were broken - and on asking they had been out of service for sometime. Kids were also super disappointed that the evening “Disco” was a Cocomelon baby dancing around in a characterless conference room. Seemed generally that the hotel management were not on top of operations.

Arrived to find that the restaurant and swimming pool were fully booked. Paid for a room with a view of the reserve no animals were out during our stay. The bit of the zoo we could see was hard to see the animals as the window was so dirty.
