I suppose it depends how many rooms you are having between your group & how old the kids are BUT if I was you I'd go for the Old suites with the interconnecting doors between the wardrobes.I suppose it depends a bit on your budget but I don't think the MBR rooms are really that expensive.They also have something like stay 5 pay 4 or it could be stay 7 pay 6.Also if you stay 7 nights you get 1 free dinner per couple .Well our neighbours did !
For the 3 of us ,2 adults & 1 teenager we stayed recently in the MBR old suites & it worked out to about $60 a night for us.
The rooms are absolutely huge.We usually ask for a downstairs room so we had a nice front verandah.It seems more like a family type place so I don't think you'd get many elephants upstairs.As I said I reckon if you have a group & were getting 4 rooms between you I'd ask for 2 downstairs & 2 upstairs old suites & then you'd have a whole building to yourself.I don't think there is much difference betwen the price of the Superior rooms & the old suites.I can't remember the number of our room but it was really close to the old pool.We like this because we were within ear shot of our son ,the pool & the pool bar & didn't have far to go back to our room if we forgot something.
The old pool is where most people including families with children tend to hang out. BTW - Never heard of anyone having dodgey plumbing or room problems when we were there.If you have other questions re the MBR fire away or send me an email & I'll try to help.
