Fantastic shagrila experience
We loved this resort with our 1.5 year old. Plenty of space to run around and pools to play in. Staff were excellent as you would expect. We thought we may have made a mistake when we were checking in - it was a little crazy busy - but all was redeemed. Would love for them to have more kids food option though. The bar out on the jetty was beautful.
