Our guide lists the age range as "All ages". Confirm cot availability, sleeping arrangements, stairs and pool access for your child; a FamilyFactor score does not verify those features.
From $550/night CAD; exchange rate often favorable for USD travelers. Treat this as planning guidance, not a live quote. Check the total for your dates, including taxes, cleaning fees, deposits and minimum-night rules.
The amenity list mentions children's programming. Confirm whether it includes a supervised kids' club, current hours, age limits and fees directly with the property.
The lowest recorded category is Pricing Value (60/100). Compare the full stay price and included amenities. Review the current property details against your priorities; the score is not evidence of a specific missing facility.
