We had a lovely family stay at the Crowne plaza. We stayed 6 nights. The new addition of the water park is fantastic. The pool needs a little maintenance and needs to be open longer hours in summer, however lovely for the family and huge! The golf course is well maintained. The tennis courts need a little maintenance. The bistro food was a bit hit and miss. Red salt breakfast buffet was delicious. All staff were friendly and accomodating. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. 6 nights is a little too long. 3-4 would have been perfect.

There was a cloth covered armchair in our room, at some previous point in time someone had been sick in it and white it had been cleaned there was stain and smell evidence that would suggest it should have been removed and replaced. Needless to say we did not sit in it and covered it with bedding material to try and contain the odour coming from it. Also disappointed that their RedSalt restaurant was not open during our stay, with no reasonable - in my view - explanation.

All staff very friendly and helpful. Tennis courts need cleaning and weeding. Happy hour advertised but when we got there we were told it’s not on during school holidays even though advertised every morning at breakfast.

Loved the 5 course degustation meal at the Salt restaurant and the extra touch the staff added for my Husbands birthday. My husband was presented with a desert plate with some yummy desert as well as a happy birthday written in chocolate on his plate.
