Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Units were upsold and in a tired, sorry state. No satellite TV as advertised, poor lighting around the area. Spa didn't work, place was half empty and no Live entertainment as advertised. Resturant was dispicable with the chef rushing out mains while starters were still being eaten. My family members got food poisoning. Left the next day (was intended to be a 3 day stay). Contacted the Manager who was neither interested nor apologetic and told us to contact Expedia if we wanted a refund!!

Great couple short stay

Another good stay at this resort, this time in a one bedroom Alvie unit. Everything great apart from the bed being double not king. Enjoyed the golf on the doorstep but didn’t use many other facilities this visit.

Perfectly functional accommodation. It was clean and well appointed, but certainly nothing special. We had expected more and were a bit underwhelmed. Pool was out of order for our stay

Excellent resort to stay with kids and dog. The accommodation is a great size, beds are comfy and the resort is clean. The resort itself is dated but the location and the size of the apartments make it worrhwhile. Kids loved the badminton and tennis. Pool is great for kids too We will definitely be back again
