Property has a lot of construction both it and the roads around it. This is not good for people arriving on late night flights. Allocation of rooms is poor. Some of the bungalows do not have the items advised such as fridges, microwaves and toasters. All round very disappointing as we had booked a week at the property and my daughter 4 dats

Room tiny but everything needed for an overnight sleep. Signage and night lighting outside very poor—got lost trying to find room 568.Took a wrong turn and walked for ages in the semi-dark before finding the right location.

Like - pretty, friendly, clean. Staff were excellent. Meals were fresh and varied.
Dislike - paintwork was tired. Bathroom was not updated as in advertisement.
As a person with poor balance, I couldn’t get out of the oasis pool easily. No handrail and a large step to get out even in the sloping area. Ended up crawling out on my knees.
