Initial observation

On arrival, our accommodation had not be prepared and the office was closed. When someone arrived to sort the problem out, no VIP member upgrade was offered, even though there was available to do so. The accommodation received was too small and without the lounge living area purchased. Overall, it’s disappointing.

The place was cute but clean. It had everything we needed for our stay. The holiday park had so many activities for kids such as a game room, playground, and pool. The pool, however, looked unclean and needs regular maintenance.

Pleasant stopover

The studio cabin was compact but very well thought out and equipped. The Splash Park could definitely do with an update, which I believe it is closing for, in February. The Games Room games all take coins only, which we did not have on us. Updating those to accept cards would be a wise upgrade. Overall, the accommodation and facilities was certainly enough to keep us comfortable and entertained for our stay.

The property was very clean and updated, we loved the location. I had my morning walk around Shaws Bay. There is an awesome playground near by. The only thing that was disappointing was the jumping pillow that had a rip and wasnt up. My kids were really looking forward to that one. Other than that, would definitely stay again!
