An overnight stay at the Windsor theme park deconstructed
We arrived at the Legoland Resort Hotel on a sunny Friday afternoon and it would be fair to say the excitement in the back of the car exceeded that in the front. While I wasn’t exactly bricking it , my previous experiences of resort park hotels didn’t fill me with the confidence that I was in for a pleasurable stay.
However, from the moment I walked under the hotel’s ‘concierge’ - a smoke billowing Lego dragon - I began to think I was being overly pessimistic. The clouds lifted further upon entering the lobby where a rather whizzy online check-in allowed us to obtain our room cards in speedy fashion.Before venturing to our quarters for the evening – a luxury family Pirate room – we had another piratic appointment to keep: a ‘splashbuckling’ date at the hotel’s pirate splash pool.
The facility is divided into two areas: a small heated pool perfect for children of any age, and a separate area replete with mini slides. The sessions in the pool are just 30 minutes long – but this is of course calibrated to the age of the patrons and seemed just right.
After leaving the pool, we headed up to the hotel’s mezzanine level for some light refreshments. While nothing special, it is all perfectly pleasant and the bar reasonably well stocked.With energy levels restored, we headed to a brand-new hotel facility – the sensory room. Spoiler alert but this is by a mile the best thing about the hotel and warrants the stay alone. There is no other way of describing it than ‘Legotopia’.
Yet the food really is the only slight wrinkle in the whole offering no one is going to a theme park hotel for its grub. I should add the caveat that there is another restaurant on the site – the Tournament Tavern – which offers an enhanced dining experience.Back to the entertainment and the resort’s evening offering is bound to delight any child - it certainly delighted our daughter.
