Pros:

Clean rooms, welcoming staff particularly easy to book in to the venue and staff friendly and helpful

Cons:

The food in restaurant and at the bar was very ordinary and frankly overpriced! If I had of being staying for a longer duration I would have had to find alternative eating arrangements!

Comfortable and good location
Pros:

Breakfast was great and staff were exceptional. The free cookies were also delicious and a great addition. Pool was comfortable and good size.

Cons:

The construction - especially on Saturday morning was a bit annoying, and some more shaded areas around the pool would be good.
