Good but more staff needed
Pros:

Location and the pool villa room was lovely

Cons:

understaffing (on a Sunday): only one driver for both the airport shuttle and the buggy to the room (which was far from reception) - which along with lack of awnings and no umbrellas in the room (or at reception as they were all being used!) made for a wet time mid-wet season! Often only one person manning reception which also made for slow check-in and response to enquiries.

unimpressed
Pros:

Location to airport was good

Cons:

the room card didnt work three times, even after going back to reception twice. We found 4 empty beer cans under the bed. A huge ball of hair in the middle of the room, I dont think it had even been vacuumed before we arrived.

Staff were disappointing and lacked customer service. The room facilities were great.
Pros:

The room and its facilities within the room were great.

Cons:

Staff were poor with giving directions to our room, they advised of car parking, however upon finding where our room was found that there was no direct access to parking and then had to do an additional loop around and park at an alternative room block. We were never advised of renovations occurring to the property
