We enjoyed the stay, my granddaughter had lots of fun in the pool and the dolphin experience. Struggled with the stairs as the lifts were not working, due to renovations. I have recently had knee surgery and am not able to climb stairs due to pain. I did mention this on checking in as i was asked about the stairs. We were still allocated a room on the second floor which meant had to go down 2 flights of stairs to our room and then back up 2 flights of stairs to the main area restaurants and sea world entrance.
