The property was great and handy to the club next door as well as a restaurant. The only issue we had was that the shower head in our room sprayed in different directions even the ceiling. Showering was a bit awkward.

I found the room to be clean with everything needed for a few days stay. The spa bath was great but a challenge to get in and out of. The taps were on the far side of the bath which made it difficult to fill as well. Overall the room was bigger than expected which made for a pleasant stay. The location was close to everything and pretty quiet as well.
