Very Noisy

This is a huge resort, full of families with kids. It's really noisy from 7 am to 7pm so if you want quiet and relaxing this isn't the place to stay! 2 restaurants, the Italian Pizza place was average, The other was the Cafe and the food was average and very slow to come out. We won't be staying here agan.

Good for families, not for couples

The resort is full of families, kids running riot while parents sit in the cafe. Screaming at the playground starts at 7am and goes through to 7pm. I don't recommend this place if you want a couples weekend away relaxing.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The pictures of the property look so much nicer and prettier! The location is convenient as it’s not far from the airport. It’s a big facility surrounded by trees and plants, hence lots of bugs and ants. They only cleaned our room once during our stay which was disappointing considering how many ants were there. There’s no black out curtain so no privacy.
