Pros:

Great staff, beautiful refurbished room, the Outlook over the lake and golf course to the mountains is stunning.
The coming and goings from the airport and bird life in the lake are entertaining.
It's simply a place of relaxation that definitely has an X factor.

Cons:

There were a few maintenance issues with a newly refurbished room we didnt expect, we pointed the issues out to management who were very grateful for our feedback.
We are adaptable people and the issues did not take away from our enjoyment of our stay, we look forward to returning in August.

Excellent
Pros:

Loved the fact we had access to a small deck at the level of the lake
Bed really comfortable.
Nice selection of teas and the coffee machine was great

AC not really warm enough for me (it was a cold night)

Pros:

Lovely resort. Easy to get to the Airport.
Breakfast options are good. Good walking tracks if you are not a golfer.

Cons:

As each unit is individually owned, its a pity there doesnt seem to be a minimum standard for owners to adhere too.
Our Lakefront Villa had no outdoor furniture, where others did, so we could not sit outside in the sun.
Kitchen was a full size kitchen which lacked basic cooking utensils. Only bare minimum and no basic condiments ( salt, pepper, oil, paper towel etc which we had in a other room type previously. So you would have to go and buy it all just to cook.

Pros:

Bed was super comfortable

Cons:

Restaurant sevice was very lacking for both dinner and breakfast. Nuts of cheese platter were rancid. Food was ok. Good service would have made a massive difference.
