All good 👍. Would come again ..

We had a pleasant stay but we were a bit surprised that we were staying in self-catering This wasn't made that obvious when booking but in all the place was nice andfriendly. It would have been nice if the apartment was warm before we got there as it took a good hour to get it up to a comfortable temperature. We also arrived at 6:00. The spa was not open which is a real shame as that's one of the main reasons for booking. It closes at 5:00. Be aware. . . The restaurant serves really nice food and the gentleman in charge of it is friendly and helpful. He even helped us get some milk and tea for the morning as we didn't have this in the room. Cheers Raj 👌👌

In need of updating throughout, bed needed changing as hadn’t been changed. Housekeeping came the following morning apologised and replaced all with new bedding. The whole apartment smelt damp and musty. Reception staff friendly and helpful. Bar expensive and bar toilets absolutely disgusting. Very expensive for what it is and certainly not up to standard, would not return or recommend.

Very tired accommodation, with ripped curtain linings. Could do with a paint and decorate. Availability of the swimming pool was poor - large groups had pre booked the later sessions. Not worth the money paid

Good resort, bit dated property

The resort was good, we liked the huge estate and the rooms. The reception was not very welcoming. Tennis court condition was poor. Some toilets didn't have a hot& cold mixer tap and it was really difficult to flush the toilets! However the property location and surroundings were excellent! Loved the swimming pool and jacuzzi.

Avoid at All Costs

- **Damp Odor:** The pervasive smell of dampness in Apartment L9 made it uninhabitable and posed potential health risks. - **Hygiene Issues:** The presence of foreign hairs in bed linens and bath areas in both apartments indicated poor cleaning standards. - **Lack of Hot Water:** Apartment H5 had no hot water, making basic hygiene and comfort impossible. - **Health Risks:** Exposure to damp environments can lead to serious respiratory issues, which is unacceptable in a hospitality setting. This review reflects the numerous issues and inadequate responses we encountered during our stay at the hotel. We hope that future guests do not have to endure such a distressing experience and that the management takes immediate steps to address these serious concerns.
