This was our 3rd stay in as many years at the Novotel, Twin Waters. My husband and I absolutely love coming here. It has that ‘secluded’, cosy feel you crave on a couple getaway. We have zero complaints, which is why we’re planning another 2 getaways this year.

Overall it was a lovely stay. However, the food was very disappointing, cheap and inedible, but charged at expensive prices. Outside of this we’d be happy to visit again. Seemed like a very family friendly resort.

Underrated

Overrated. We were looking forward to our stay, but our stay was underwhelming. The room had only one lamp and no overhead lighting. There wasn’t a lift for our luggage. The receptionist didn’t give us any information on arrival other than where our room was. The breakfast was good but the evening dinner was poor. The photos did not reflect the quality of the room. A shame as we were looking forward to our stay

Where did it end. We ordered a baby cot on checking it it never arrived, tried to call reception 3 times and no one answered. The place was filthy our baby had black legs and feet from the dirt on the floor. There was blood on the toilet door. I went to the bar and tried to order a drink but could not room charge despite providing a credit card on check in. This happened 3 times and had to carry my phone in wet areas just to pay for a drink. The next morning rang 3 times no answer had to call the outside line from my mobile. Then tried to use the gym and my card wouldn’t work. I’ve been travelling around the world for over 30 years and have never seen a more poorly run resort. I paid $700 a night for the room and could not relax once.
