Loads of potential to be great, but currently quite shabby.
Pros:

Location was ok but further out from the main touristy bits than hotels like the Sheraton or Hilton garden (about 7-8 min walk to these locations). The room was clean enough but could do with updating. The food at breakfast was nice, but an odd arrangement compared to other hotels. The coffee machine in the room was nice. Reception staff were friendly enough. The actual character of the building was nice and could be really chic if done well (but isn’t currently).

Cons:

The breakfast set up was strange and the breakfast staff were not particularly friendly to tourists, but seemed very relaxed and pleasant with locals. The room was clean but shabby and there were a number of broken things: a cupboard door handle wasn’t screwed on properly, the shower knobs were coming off the wall and the outlet for the WiFi was also coming off the wall. The WiFi went off after a day and didn’t come back on. The double beds were very small. The pool area needs more loungers and parasols. In the evening there were groups of younger adults around the tennis court / pool / bbq area monopolizing the space and smoking weed, making it unusable for anyone else. We didn’t spend a huge amount of time in the room so we made-do, but I wouldn’t stay here again.

We had a wonderful vacation and this property made it even better. The friendly and helpful staff were simply the best.
Pros:

The beautiful courtyard! My grandchildren especially loved the pool and pickle ball court. Breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of items to choose from. Very relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely stay there again!

Great family stay, will definitely book again!
Pros:

Everything was great! Staff was friendly, room was clean, the facility was always nice and didn’t have any weird smells. The pool was clean and they have a bin of floaties and life jackets for kids, which we enjoyed. We used to live in New Orleans and it was nice being in the middle. Easy to get to things.

Cons:

Didn’t like the pool hours. Wish it opened earlier and stayed open later.
