An amazing way to unwind
Pros:

The facilities were amazing making it easy to relax at the resort without necessitating leaving for the local shops. The beachfront location was amazing and the room was more than comfortable for our stay.

Cons:

The parking near the reception was difficult to find a spot at due to local traffic on the Saturday night.

Expensive considering the tiredness of the accommodation
Pros:

The improvements to the restaurant are lovely and it has a great vibe

Cons:

The Bure I stayed in had the main bed in the living room with 2 singles in the bedroom. I have stayed at Aanuka for many years and I was surprised to see the main bed in the living room. I was travelling solo so this was not required. The bathrooms are novel, but they're old and tired and became smelly over my stay, like smelly damp pipes.

Okay
Pros:

Beach nearby, restaurant on sight and pool.

Cons:

The staff not very helpful when it comes to finding a way to get bags to the room there should be an established service. The rooms can be far from the carpark and parking is not assured. There were people drunk screaming and swearing in the huts around us.

Great value and awesome for families but wouldn’t stay unless I could be closer to the main hub.
Pros:

Great location on the beach. Dinner was great. Bar restaurants comfortable. Great for families.

Cons:

We were at the far end of the complex so a bit of a walk to bars and restaurants. They didn’t offer transportation such as golf carts for elderly or people with disabilities.
Buffet breakfast was expensive and the majority of the food wasn’t hot.

It was a disaster from the moment we were treated at checkin. we checked out and went elsewhere.
Pros:

What went right?

Cons:

The receptionist was absolutely disgraceful.
Her manner was dismissive, belittling, argumentative, belligerent and above all rude.
The room could not have been further from the beach, the room smelled of smoke, there was no air conditioning in the bedroom, the toilet was not cleaned and had faeces stains in the bowl, the kitchenette meeds maintenance.

Great place to stay and has a homely feel, we will be back !
Pros:

Very easy check in, good carparking, the grounds were spotless and well maintained. Pool area very well managed. Very quiet and with all the trees it was private. Our second stay and wont be our last

Cons:

The room was pretty dirty, spider webs in the kitchen, under the cupboards and ants all through the cupboards and windows, but the most concerning was the terrible smell from the bottom floor laundry toilet. We ran the taps for quite a while each day and purchased some room deodorisers for the weekend. Ultimately we ended up keeping that door closed and didn't use the room at all
