Sadly not a good experience staying on 13 Dec. We enjoyed visiting twice previously & returned hoping for a nice getaway. This time we were put in a different part of the retreat. Staff upon both arrival & check out on could hardly have been less friendly / welcoming. We were woken at approx 3.30am by an alarm going off in the complex. The room itself appeared to have recently been redecorated, however the building is clearly very old & embarrassing to charge $172 to stay in. Please can you kindly refund us for the poor experience.
