I’ve stayed here before and it was lovely but this was a long time ago and times have changed. The resort looks tired and is in desperate need of a refresh. Our deluxe room was supposed to be on the resort side but the only thing I was close to was the car park which was right next to our room. Dinner was pure Fawlty Towers entertainment with waitresses walking around trying to find who the meals belonged to. We were brought 2 children’s meals by mistake so we declined much to the chagrin of the waitress who then went on the hunt for her missing diners. The family next to us ate their meals and were then served again - they were full at this point so declined. In the end our meals arrived and I was so relieved to see mine that I refused to go back and ask for the missing lemon butter sauce for my salmon. Bed was ok, room was clean but shower over a decrepit 1970’s bath needs to go. Valuing my knees, I skipped the morning shower experience.

Room was on ground floor and had a very bad damp/musty smell, the room does not get zero sunlight. Speed bumps coming into the resort need to be re painted with the white stripes extremely hard to notice speed bumps. Overall I spent approximately 30 mins in the room and had to check out snd leave due to allergies from the damp/ musty smell. Disappointing for $173

Although we were just transitting through and only had one night this was the highlight of our journey. The spaciousness of reception areas, dining and bar are unusual these days. Our grandchildren enjoyed the pool, slide and the games area. Rooms were also large and well catered. Very clean, very welcoming and easy parking.
