“This resort certainly emphasizes family stays, evidenced by its kid-friendly pool services and proximity to Legoland; however, some found the service levels inconsistent with expectations, particularly given the price point. The Chandler's oceanfront dining stood out positively, even as other aspects, like responsiveness and room readiness, drew concern. Ultimately, while the location is prime, those seeking tranquility might consider alternatives.”
