Enjoyed our stay at the Ridges resort! The check in/ check out process was seamless. The staff were exceptionally helpful and proactive. The range of amenities was impressive, and the services and activities were efficiently managed. The only minor issue we encountered was the Chromecast for the tv was not functioning, however reception promptly offered an alternative entertainment solution. Cant wait to be back!

Loved the kids swimming pool area. Really fun place for kids. Since it is easter the resort organised activities for kids (face painting, jumping castle etc).The Villa was nice however the carpet was very dirty. There was bad smell if you close the room for too long. Also the room has a lake in the back which was great however back entrance had dead insects and duck and bird poo all over the area. The room service food is really average. Not worth what you pay for. Its hard to call reception from your room. No one is available. Gives you an option for call back. Selected that a few times and no one ever calls back. Redsalt restaurant has good food however was not.able to keep up with busy periods. Left early without having dessert which was part of the 2 course meal due to wait times.Overall great place to stay if the above issue's are fixed. Planning to taking th kids back later this year. Fingers crossed.
