7.4/10 Good! (1,004 reviews)
Our room had a mold issue around the window. (427) The room itself did not smell good. The fridge didn’t keep the food cold. The room was very dusty. The plug under the beside table was disgusting. It looked like it had never been cleaned. The sheets and blankets were clean, the towels were nice and white.
The staff were all very kind, courteous and caring.
The pool had been closed, the staff opened it for the weekend, which was great, however the aweful smell in the pool room .. well, it was aweful! The water was chilly but clean.
The breakfast was very good. There was no lunch or dinner at the hotel restaurant.

This costs $40 per adult and the only real attractions for me were the dolphins and beluga whales. We managed to get there between "shows" so the mammals were swimming about (seemily pretty happy) and there was virtually no crowd, so I would recommend that. The rest of the aquarium (with stuff you can see in the deep) was ridiculously busy and I didn't really get why.
