Not really. The property tags itself "Best 10+" — programming and amenities skew to older kids. Toddlers will be fine on the grounds, but you're paying for facilities they can't fully use.
From $280/night — best for families with older teens who appreciate a refined setting. Pricing Value scores 62/100 — fair for what you get.
Not listed. Kid Amenities scores 68/100, so on-property kid programming is limited. Better for families who want to use this as a base and head out for activities than for parents hoping to drop kids at a club.
Pricing Value at 62/100 is the real soft spot — you're paying a premium versus comparable peers; check whether the amenities you'll actually use justify it.
