I stayed here for 3 nights with my 2 children (9&11yrs). The room was lovely and the king size bed was comfortable although the bathroom was not like they showed in the photo. The bathroom needs an upgrade but it still served us well. The pool was lovely, the gym equipment was sufficient. I missed out on the sauna but will definitely use next time. The staff service was top quality. The maintenance person Willy really cares about the property and takes his job seriously which was great to see. Gregg in the buffet breakfast service was top quality. He tended to our needs and made conversation with my kids which made them feel comfortable. If I had the authority to, I would give him a pay raise as his personality brings brightness and light to the customers. My family and I are considering this place as our annual holiday location. I would highly recommend staying here and our family will definitely be back. Thank you team.

Unfortunately we didn't have a good experience at the hotel. Our room wasn't ready at our 3pm arrival check-in, and we had no hot water that evening or the following day until after midday. There was no communication regarding this, when I asked I was told it was our wing & was being fixed. There was no apology compensation, or attempt to problem solve by offering a different room. Reception was under staffed, & in general the hotel was in need of a renovation I feel.

We have stayed many times and really enjoy the friendly and efficient staff and the effort of the grounds staff to keep it looking really well kept. The hot pools are a real draw card. The rooms are clean and staff do a good job servicing, but showers over baths is not great for older clients. This is gradually be changed but pays to ask if you don't want a bath. New management have reduced some benefits, eg. free breakfast for members and no 'welcome back' gifts. The grounds are lovely and the walk along the hot natural stream has potential for development to add to the stay experience. We ate in and the meals were reasonably priced and good quality. Drinks were a little pricey! We look forward to our next stay.
