Advantages: Close to the park, with a linking pathway

Disadvantages: Can make the trip expensive, but rooms sleep 4

A lovely hotel, especially exciting for the children, and our stay there really added to the "special" feeling of the trip.

The first thing we noticed on arrival was the beautiful fountain at the front of the hotel, a bit like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in brass - you'll have to see it to appreciate it. The Jules Verne type boat at the centre of the hotel is spectacular (yes, inside the hotel), and from the "deck" the evenings entertainment takes place, usually caberet style acts but aimed at the children.

The rooms (which are beautifully themed), lifts (again themed), characters (butler, scientist) etc all add to the "fun" feeling - but one of the best attributes was the fact that the hotel has a linking pathway to the theme park, which means no queues, just a nice walk into the action.

The park itself is amazing - but that's another story.
