Poor housekeeping, didn't vacuum the room, didn't restock tea/coffee/toiletries. Hotels corridors had lots of dirty trays with glasses, looked untidy. I had a hay fever, because the room hasn't been vacuumed. The pool wasn't heated, and all kids were jumping into the spa. The breakfast was very good.

I didn't appreciate being woken at 6.50 in the morning by a lawnmower trimming the greens. Surely this can be done late afternoon. He even had lights on the mower. Also It would have been appropriate if the receptionist who received us had asked us if we needed assistance taking our bags up the stairs to the villa, considering we are aged 75 and 80.
