Well organised room with great furniture. Friendly staff who made check in easy. Parking accross the road is great. Wifi at this resort is excellent. The only down side was there really was no atmosphere. We may have seen about 2 people the whole time we were there. We enjoyed the fact it was an adult only resort but it was more just for peaceful laxing. There is no activity or entertainment.

The room was very spacious and modern. It had three large mirrors in all, which is something most accommodation falls short on. The staff were lovely, the barista made coffee was very good, and the location was excellent, being very close to many eating and drinking options. The only negatives I would say is that we rented a car from the airport, but still had to pay the hotel van driver $30 to check us in as our flight was after the office closed (as would most of the flights in I would think), and for $300 odd dollars a night, I would expect more than toast, 2 plain cereals, yogurt, sliced coconut, orange & apple for the included breakfast. I assume it is to push you to order a paid breakfast, which we did several times - my husband had the omelette every time as it was fabulous, I had halloumi and mushrooms on toast, which wasn’t good as the toast wasn’t buttered, halloumi not cooked and mushrooms just fried then some balsamic vinaigrette sprinkled over it. I assumed I was getting mushrooms in a cream sauce considering the time we waited for it, and it wasn’t busy.
