Decor dated, old stained carpet in room. Dirty teaspoon and cup. Room wasn’t properly serviced- dirty towels removed but not replaced and rubbish not emptied. Steps on pathway to pool unsafe. Restaurant breakfast too expensive. Overall not worth the room rate.

This property is in a unique spot which is handy to a lot of things! But boy does it need a makeover? The rooms are very tired, bathrooms basins cracked and chipped. Hotel room door needs painting. Needs bathroom renovation, wallpaper taken from the walls and fresh coat of paint.

Didn't start well when room wasn't ready over 1 hour after check in time and staff didn't care. Complex was dated and toilet was very hard to flush and shower slide didn't stay up. No aircon in room as it was an upstairs room, it was very hot. We left early after 2 sleepless nights due to the heat. We paid quite a lot to stay here and it wasnt value for money.

The room and staff were lovely, a great location and room. Restaurant very nice with great food and service. Kids menu not as exciting as in past visits. Pool was actually a bit hot for the kids to swim in, more like a spa pool. No impressed with wifi at all, a room that sleeps 4 only allowed 3 logins, and each one needed own email address which the young kids didn't have.

Property is promising from the outside, but was really really dated inside. We didn’t get a chance to use the pools, but there were several. There was also a tennis court and an on site restaurant. Rooms and hallway could use an update.
