I loved the pool and spa in the middle of the hotel, it was very beautiful with trees and rocks around it. The staff was great we got into our room right away. It was disappointing that the jacuzzi bath wasn’t useable in the room but overall a great place to stay!

We have stayed here a few times over the years. However, our 2 bedroom apartment was quite old and dated. The blinds in the bedroom did not block out the daylight or street lights at all so very hard to sleep. Apartments are well set up with everything you need.

The property is aging and needs general upgrade. The Bathroom shower in our suite was in a high sided spa bath with two steps up in order to step into. It was not easy or safe for older folks or people with leg or back problems to into or out of…but generally a risk of falling for anybody who was not careful. The towel racks and towel hooks were pulled from the wall and door and hanging loosely on their screws.

The room we stayed in didnt have any curtains/drapes, only white Venetians which did not block out the light. It was so bright at night that i could nearly read a book without turning on the light! Generally the property was clean, tidy and quiet.

Disliked: Amenities
What we liked - the private rooftop area with spa, the location and the pools. What we didn’t like - confusing after-hours check-in instructions and no bedding available for the BOOKED child and trying to sort it out by ourselves at midnight. No bed (figured out there was a sofabed), no bedding for the sofabed so had to cannibalise sheets, blankets and pillows from the main bed to make the bed able to be slept in and no towelling for our child. If we hadn’t booked her, understandable, but she WAS booked as staying. Was not how we wanted to start our mini-break.
