Excellent stay, room was great, the dining for breakfast and dinner was great. Only issue I had was we went for a swim at the pool, it had been drizzling rain, and there was nowhere covered to put any items of clothing or towels, etc, which meant they got wet, when you’d want to get out of the pool and dry off before walking across to the opposite side of the resort to the room.

Good facilities, spas could do with a little upgrade. Jets not working and not overly clean around the edges.

We were disappointed as had wanted to stay at this resort forever but it was not the best hotel experience. It is a massive hotel and very noisy at night and early morning. Not the cleanest and the rooms are dated. The corridors are a maze and very dated too. Breakfast price was unaffordable for a family of four. Staff at check in ridiculously slow and disinterested. We won’t be rushing back.

Had two bookings, first night in studio then three nights in Family Villa. Rubbish and recycling not collected. Cockroaches in both units. Door lock Broken in family unit. No compendium in either unit. Checked into studio OK, then told we did not have a booking for following three nights. we had to provide email proof of Expedia booking before they accepted booking. Others in que in front of me could still not book in at 5:30 PM, including couple with baby and elderly parent. Hot pool was not disabled friendly, struggled to get out with failing knees. will never return nor recommend to others.
