I liked the choice of pools. and the pizza on Wednesday night. I did not like the thin toilet paper - disintegrates as soon as it gets wet! I was in the cheaper section of units - but would have been nice to have a comfortable chair to sit and watch tv.

It was a really good time. There were multiple pools with different depths, plus a poolside bar/restaurant. The beds were comfy but the shower water pressure was occasionally too hot.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Staff were nice and the pools were good, there was a smaller one near my room that was often empty so I had it mostly to myself. Room was large and clean, with a fridge and kettle. I didn't realise when booking how close my room would be to the restaurant and play area, so with many families with small children there it was extremely loud and I didn't really get the quiet relaxation I had hoped for on my holiday. There were also loud adults shouting around that area at night, which disrupted my sleep. I asked staff if I could change rooms and they tried to help, but as the place was fully booked there was nowhere else to move. I would say if you're a light sleeper like me or just looking for somewhere quiet and relaxing this may not be the place for you, unless you can request a room in a quieter area.

We stayed overnight in a family room. Beds are comfy and everything perfectly adequate. Unfortunately the gentleman next door to us didn’t follow guidelines and smoked a lot which wafted into our room. Cafe (for breakfast) is very overpriced and poor quality. Do not recommend. If you had young kids they’d probably love the pools and play areas.

What a great place to stay. Relaxed, great facilities, beautiful setting. We really enjoyed our stay. It is an older establishment, with some upgrades, and situated a little out of town. I really liked its hokey 80's vibes. The restaurant was great, the food fresh, well priced, and a great selection. All in all we were pretty happy with our stay.
