Not meeting expectations.
Pros:

The location is stunning! - Beaches and the greater neighbourhood are quite inviting. Hiltop, a nice golf course only a few kilometres away. Dinner at the pool bar was pleasant.

Cons:

We stayed in Room # 8. - In front of us a ‘temporary’ fence, (which has been there for already 2 years…) with its main entrance to a storage room for employees of the pool bar and the gardeners i.e. no real privacy possible.

The bed on the terrace needs repair, since it accepts only one position…

The Homepage gives the impression of sizeable infinity pool…. This is not the case. My expectations for serious swimming went down the drain…

The internet is working at the pool area - which is nice, however was ‘a joke’ elsewhere…

It’s difficult to darken the room i.e. the ‘nights’ were shortened significantly…

The personell in general was attentive, friendly however only a few real professionals among them.
