the room was ok....our main concern was when we sat outside in front of the bar the service was terrible. it took 25-30 mins to finally get our drink on several occasions.....friday 21 nov we had a meal there and knew the fire show was coming on so asked for our bill....it didnt come so we went to watch the show...after the show we went to pay out bill and nobody could help us and there werent any table numbers....we asked again in the morning and were told no they didnt have a bill for us....we went back the following night and the poor waiter come over to us and told us he had to pay out of his own pocket....he asked for the money wich was $95....my partner didnt like paying him cash but we didnt have any choice....then the next drink when we wanted to charge it to the room they said we had no credit.......we thought this was because of the earlier incident......but after asking questions and getting answers they said it was a standard procedure......we were never told that when we checked in and we asked a couple of other people near us and they said yes it happened to them as well.....it put a dampner on our stay there and we only wished there were table numbers where we were sitting have a great day,,,,phil price

Special mention for our room maid Aliti who was always cheerful and friendly and who went out of her way to always ensure that our room was clean and tidy. Also, special mention to the groundsman who maintained the garden and facilities around Block 600.
