Quite possibly the filthiest place I have ever stayed at. Old dishes were left in the dishwasher which had become mouldy. We only realised this on the last day but it explained the stench. Old dirty cutlery and rubbish had been left in cupboards. There was faeces smeared on the wall above the toilet. We advised the guy at the front desk of some of the cleanliness issues on the Saturday morning and he said it would be cleaned again that day but it never happened. It does not get worse than this. I wrote to management seeking a response but never got one so will leave this review for the public as a warning to stay away from this place. I expect a response from Management denying everything as they have with other negative reviews. STAY AWAY.

My stay.

The unit was very clean and comfortable. However I noticed a hole in the ceiling where a fire alarm once was and also a spit in the fabric on the lounge. The grounds were well kept as was the pool area. Check in and check out was quick and easy.
