Room was clean. However, the rooms are located around the bar, restaurant and pool area so are noisy at night with the sound of voices, and furniture being dragged across the floor. Bed very soft so not comfy.

Room is nothing like the photos. We were locked out of our room due to a failing battery. Manager did what he could but sadly we will never stay here again. It was supposed to be a romantic weekend away and instead was a weekend from hell. Thank you to the manager who checked us out you were truly the only highlight this place had to offer.

This was a really lovely little resort.. the pool area and roof top bar was really gorgeous. It was easy to get around town and find delicious places to eat. but unfortunately the room was so so so small.. uncomfortabley tiny and neither my husband or I are big people.. There was no where to place our suitcase, the cupboard had hanging space no drawers or shelves so we had to live out of the suitcase but had to zip it and stand it after taking our clothes out as there was no room. The shower was huge but the vanity was so tiny there wasn't room to barely hold the toothbrush. The mad cow nightclub is right next door and was still pumping at 2 in the morning.. the noise was something we weren't aware of. I knew it was near a nightclub but figured they would have sound-proofed better than that. The rooms let in so much light. The curtain is not block out and the door frame allowed a lot of light into the room. Its such a shame as this was a really nice and super convenient spot. We will stay again but will be asking for a bigger room next time and will bring ear plugs.
