Always a pleasure to stay at the theme park hotel. Just a few issues during this stay. Gecko in room upon arrival. Staff are very noisy at 6 am outside your bedroom when you are trying to get some sleep. Not halal friendly, so cannot enjoy the breakfast. The security team need to be more friendly, very harsh especially when you ask for a cart to take you back to your room.
