Was only given two towels the second night and two pool towels even though there was 3 of us. The cleaners left a bag of rubbish outside the door from them cleaning that day.

We booked three bedrooms lake view and without our knowledge and approval, we were moved to a two bedroom penthouse. The kids have to sleep in the same room which means they did not get much sleep. It is extremely cocky of management to not even call us prior to our trip and update. We landed and got told we can only have two bedrooms. We booked and got confirmation of three bedrooms at least three months ahead of our trip. Not going back again.

The hot pool and geothermal tubs were a spectacular cherry on the lovely cake of a spacious, beautiful, fully equipped suite. I wish we'd stayed longer, as the waters left us all feeling refreshed and invigorated in a really special way!
