We'll the photos do not represent what is there. Very lively and quiet property. The access to one pool is daunting. The property there looks in disrepair.

Not to a resort quality

Late arrival as just stopping the night! Stayed a week before and this time a different room. It smelled very bad, spray didn’t even work on the smell at all. No amenities in the room for having something lite to eat on as restaurant closes early even for a Saturday night. No service or any way to call reception, which as resulted in a very long painful walk to reception. In general very run down, but staff are helpful and friendly.

Besides having a free parking and the fact that its located near a bunch of cool spots and activities, I do not have anything nice to say about this property. Upon check in The lady at the counter was not that welcoming. The whole hotel only has one elevator and thats by the lobby so if your room is located on thr other end and you are disabled, theres no access for that. Balcony was covered with bird crap. Poor noise isolation. Cabinet doors were broken, we only had one duper thin pillow each .. I just feels like the hotel needs a revamp.

Old, hot, noisy and tasteless

The resort is old and tired, no upgrades have been done. No air conditioning, so the rooms are extremely hot. The ceiling fan was noisy, so we couldn't even use that. The food in the restaurant is average and over priced.

I loved the fact it had insite facilities such as tbe resturant and bar. Also lovely heated pools. A nice holiday destination for familes with playground courys and pools. Some buildings are looking a little tired and shabby from the outside. Maybe rooms need a little freshening up.

Great place

Great facilities, got a bit warm though. The pools were spa temp, too hot to swim in, and there was no aircon. The ceiling fan was adequate once I found the switch to make it blow down not upwards, ie it was still in winter mode.

This property is in a unique spot which is handy to a lot of things! But boy does it need a makeover? The rooms are very tired, bathrooms basins cracked and chipped. Hotel room door needs painting. Needs bathroom renovation, wallpaper taken from the walls and fresh coat of paint.
