Staff was so unpleasant, very clearly hated their job. Pool water was cold as ice! The temperature while we were there was already chilly so not sure why they wouldn’t heat their pools up. Food was gross, caused us to get sick. They ran out of pool towels one of the days we were there. Room clean up seemed like nothing more than making of beds. Bedroom bed had no blanket nor duvet, just a sheet. Wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy.

From the beginning to the end it was a fantastic stay, the staff everywhere made us feel very welcomed and were very helpful when asking questions or making reservations for dinners at the restaurant. We recommend this hotel and we’ll be back! Special kudos to William, the bartender at the main lobby, he is the best!!!!

There was a significant security breach in our room. It may employee entered our room without knocking while my partner was coming out of the shower naked, I started yelling at him to get out of the room and he stood there like he couldn’t hear me he was attaching a sign to the back of the door and he would not even turn his head to look at me. I filled out a security incident report I will not be available for the next 30 days as I am Amend doing a medical treatment program, but I expect the hotel to at the minimum refund to the fortnights that we were there as my partner was unable to feel safe in our room and had a hard time sleeping and even being at the resort after this happened

Disliked: Amenities
While the rooms were excellent and well maintained, the concierge and front desk service was extremely poor. I requested an extra blanket three days in advance and only received it three days later, which is unacceptable. During my stay, I was injured and advised by a doctor not to walk, yet the resort did not even have a wheelchair available. This lack of basic guest support is concerning, especially in a resort setting. Additionally, the check-in process took over an hour and a half, which reflects very poor organization and guest handling. My low rating is solely due to the concierge and front desk service. The rooms and cleaning staff were good, but the overall experience was significantly impacted by the lack of responsiveness, preparedness, and basic service standards.
