  A great location, right in the park at the entrance. The rooms are a little on the tight side but for a night or twos accomodation they are ideal.

  Rooms are small and cosy but with 2 people in there it worked perfectly. They have their issues but the perks and convenience of the hotel are unmatched. Some incredible staff at reception who are very knowledgeable and helpful.

  Me and my son (8) went and had an great time. 35° heat didnt put us off, when we were in the cabin the aircon was outstanding. The girls in reception, where great and helped with smiles on there face. Me and my son loved the rides.... but we would 100% stay because of the shark cabins. #dadandladadventures2026

  Great location, but not much to do after the park closes and only one option for eating. On our first night we waited over an hour for our food in Vibes. We did get some free drinks as an apology. Following night was much quicker and food was good. Rooms have what you need and have air conditioning. Enough storage space although floors under beds are not very clean. Beds are comfy but can be a bit difficult to get out of. Quiet other than people running back and forth or slamming their doors. 1 hour fast track provided was great and breakfast was ok. Staff were friendly and helpful. Overall a good stay.

  Pleasant check in at 3pm. When we entered our Shark cabin, we realised that we hadn't done enough research. It really is a converted container, no window other than a porthole in the door, covered by a piece of cardboard (part of the theming), otherwise every person walking past your door would see the beds. The cabins we get on cross channel ferries are honestly more comfortable. We stayed about 15 minutes in it, really claustrophobic, the air con didn't appear to work, although it was set to 18, it was boiling hot. In the short time we were in there, 3 groups of youths ran past the room, the whole place shook, and it was incredibly noisy. Once the park closed, or at least we thought it was closing so left (turned out the app said it was 6pm, when actually it was 10pm, Sat 16th May 2026), we left the park to go into town for a meal. During the meal, the whole family decided we couldn't face a night in the container, so drove the 4 hours home, reaching home at midnight... but at least we were certain of getting a good nights sleep. Sadly, before we could leave, we had to return the keycards to the hotel, we rang the number on the key card holder hoping they would say not to bother, but no, we had to return them. Truly, the worst hotel experience we have ever had. I cant fathom the positive reviews on here. No breakfast and fast passes is worth a night in a windowless room, with no possibility of air, and no sleep due to people running screaming and shouting passed your door.
