Excellent location and friendly staff, but dated and worn furnishings, saggy beds, no decent restaurant and average housekeeping make for an experience that is a let down from our previous stays. We stayed for 4 nights, and our bed was only made once by housekeeping during our stay.

Clean, comfortable bed, excellent facilities, great swimming pool. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Slightly more options on the house bar dining menu would have been great. I would stay here again.
