Excellent stay.

The location on the resort grounds is excellent. The rooms are large and have space to put luggage. The main bathroom is large & has a bath. If you have small children- the stairs are very steep & narrow- be mindful of this. The kitchen was large in size- only crockery provided no condiments. The airconditioning seems to be locked on 1 setting- however there are extra blankets in the cupboards. Balcony is beautiful & lot's of wildlife to see. There isn't any parking outside the villa- you need to park a good 5-7min walk away. Again with small children/a lot of luggage this can be an issue. Overall clean stay.

Lovely Resort

We stayed in a 2 bedroom loft cottage. It was lovely and spacious, comfy beds (although I would suggest bringing own pillow). The garden's were lovely and nice pools. The tv in our cottage was in a strange position, ie not in front of the lounges which was a bit frustrating to watch. The restaurant was also being renovated during our stay so no-where to eat but there was a range of courtesy buses available to pubs etc. But all up nice place to stay.

The setting was amazing, location beautiful but was glad we only stayed two nights as the kitchen was average. It seemed that the crockery, cutlery and pots and pans hadn’t had a good clean in a while and there wasn’t any dishwasher tablets to remedy.

We had booked accommodation with raffertys months ago, providing full details of the current guests, including two young children. Yet what was provided was not child friendly. We made this clear to the reception and felt like the feedback was not acknowledged appropriately. Did not feel like our booking details were even taken into account when being designated a room. The access to parking was not great either. How can guests park anywhere close by with very limited parking anywhere and no access to the garage?

The 4 pools were the clincher.

Check in staff were amazing. We got an awesome upgrade. The apartments are awesome, really clean & have everything you need. The 4 pools & numerous tennis courts got a bit of use (mainly pools) loved that both rooms had an ensuite. Overall definitely would recommend.

The office was closed at 6:50pm when we arrived (no prior communication or call confirming), however there was an out of hours number to call, who were helpful in checking in. The accommodation was fine, dated, but suitable for our stay. There was a large amount of dead ants in the cutlery drawer, as well as a couple of live cockroaches running around, the following morning we also found a large amount of live ants running around kitchen (no food left out as we ate out and didnt have a chance to buy any). On a positive the amenities were great, tennis courts, pools which were great for kids.
