My
Travel's Explorers Hotel® is located
on the Disney site this is one of three new hotels
constructed recently about 1km from the Disney
owned hotels. There is a constant shuttle bus service
(FREE) to and from the Disneyland Theme Park Gates
which are about 3km away - too far for walking,
but the hotel is possibly better for children than
some of the other Disney hotels.
The
Explorer which has a "pirates" style
theme has a large indoor pool with slides, a play
area in the shape of a sailing ship, a children's
play area ideal for under 6 years with lots of
swing ropes, climbing walls and netted softballs
to jump into with no damage to offspring whatsoever!
Well designed to keep kids happy including a children's
theatre and also an entertainment room.
There
is a separate, full service restaurant - the "Captains
Library" and another restaurant/breakfast
room and a "Smugglers" bar for the adults.
To keep the kiddies content there is a special
children's menu available in the restaurants and
also a pizza takeaway. Attention has been to making
kids happy and on our visit it seemed to be working!
The “crew” rooms
for 4 have one double bed and two single beds.
The six berth “crew” rooms are slightly
larger and have a double bed, two twins and bunk
beds (suitable for children up to 15 years) in
an alcove area.
All these bedrooms
have one en suite bathroom with hairdryer, bath and
shower over, washbasin and WC - they also have a
ceiling fan, satellite TV (2 in rooms for 6) with
pay videos and games. For larger families a “crew” room
for 10 comprises 2 adjoining 4-bedded rooms with
bunk beds between and includes 2 bathrooms.
“Officer” rooms
offer all the features of “crew” rooms
plus tea and coffee making facilities, a special
toiletry pack and a surprise gift for each child.
Suites are ideal
for those who like a little more luxury – they
sleep 5 and include 2 bathrooms, a living area and
air conditioning. There are three themed suites – Sweet
Suite, Explorers Jungle Suite – Planet Hollywood
Suite.
Continental breakfast
is included for both adults and children.
