Legoland Florida Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The rooms were great, spacious enough for 2 adults and 2 children. We stayed in the pirate island side of the resort and loved it. The pool on the pirate side was closed during our stay but the main pool was open and was fun. The included breakfast was good. We only ate at the other restaurant a couple times but that was also good. Very short walk to the Legoland park and to peppa pig world. The master builder classes held each night were also a lot of fun."
