Couldn't check in until 330, which we understood due to staff shortage, but room was still dirty when we entered, wife had to wipe down kitchen benches, mould in bathrooms. Rooms need a massive revamp as they are starting to be really outdated. Very disappointing considering the price. If there's any positive the views are amazing

The location and view was really good. However the overall cleanliness of the room was substandard, for eg... furniture,benchtops etc weren't clean, the sheets had marks on them and there was no bedspread.Was disappointed with our stay there.

The views were fantastic and although I didnt use the pool it looked nice .The lady at reception was lovely. The resort wwas advertised as modern luxury and top end but was extremely outdated and dirty and smelt bad. I slept on a towel as the linen looked dirt with marks and hair in bed. The shower smelt like urine. I was having difficulty connecting the power to room and called the after hours number for assistance only to be told sorry nothing he could do. Overall so dissapointed that I checked out in the morning
