We had a wonderful stay here - only small issue is that the accommodation was a bit dated - however everything else, including the restaurant and the service from the crew, was excellent.

Rosemarie

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Our stay was a complete disaster. A staff member took our room which we'd booked weeks before, and gave us a much inferior room, that the air conditioner wasnt going. Obviously this place has no policy in place to keep a room that has had the booking confirmed. Beware. They will give your booking to someone else, and give you something much inferior. I will NEVER go there again, it was all so upsetting.
