Location is great, shops close by in case you need something, and the room was impeccable. Price was bang on for the room.

Still a new premises so no onsite bar/restaurant and the pool was a bit dirty. Also when i enquired if they have "Do Not Disturb" or "Room is OK" signs they still don't have those.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. I appreciated the privacy. Our stay was great and we'll be coming back every year moving forward. I also loved the fact that you guys are a walking distance from Checkers. I appreciated the free cappuccino and hot chocolate🥰

I had a bit of a problem at check-in when my partner arrived before me and I was requested to amend my booking so that he could get checked in. Arrived at our room and the toilet seat was broken. I would have appreciated it if we had some cutlery and crockery in our room. I think the restaurant should provide a variety and more cost effective meals.

the swimming pool, our unit was very clean. Loved that they allowed a set up for my birthday celebration. very friendly staff and to my surprise, when we checked, we were told that were upgraded to a much spacious unit. this made my day

i know there is no restaurant facility, it would have been nice to have fine dining at the facility especially with such stunning dining hall.
