"Disappointing service with the club house staff basically non-existent. They forgot my order 3 times and when we asked if it could be put to the front of the queue they said no So I didn't eat. Signage is terrible and if it's your first time there, you're going to get lost and its going to be frustrating. Rooms however are clean and comfortable. Some of the facilities are a bit dated, such as still using keys not cards, Wi-Fi is patchy and no reliable. The beach is great and enough room even...
