The service was amazing, all staff are very friendly and helpful. Food at the bar/ restaurant was amazing! The rooms are quite nice and the beds comfortable but the rooms are in need of an update, the AC and bathroom fan were often noisy and the bathroom door kept jamming (I actually got locked in at one point). The pool area was very impressive, we spent time there everyday. Great location also!!

Lovely staff members. Rooms were clean and comfortable. One lift didn’t seem adequate for the amount of people staying there. Light switch in bathroom was not working every time. Needs some general maintenance.
