Pros:

I love how relaxing it felt sitting in the balcony especially at night watching the pool lit up and in the morning looking at the dew on the golf course

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay
Pros:

Clean Comfortable room. Large Ensuite, great shower. Air conditioner worked very well. We were placed in one of the newer ground floor rooms, no window or balcony/outdoor space. This was not a problem, excellent security.
Restaurant staff and service was efficient & friendly
Food was great, not too many choices, making decisions less difficult.
Reception was very friendly & helpful.
Nail & beauty lobby shop was very pleasant restful. July tidied my eyebrows very well.

Cons:

I loved the shower layout offering a shelf to place our own toiletries on.
Lighting over and or around the mirror would be a bonus
A full length mirror either in the ensuite or in the living area, the back of the entry door would work.

Great shirt stay accommodation. Definitely will be coming back.
Pros:

Easy late check in facilities, great parking and clean.

Cons:

Small Bar fridge on the floor was a little awkward to get to and messy! Also a safe in the room would have been helpful.

Good for a short stay.
Pros:

It was quiet and not too busy. We did take advantage of a special due to the Building Maintenance going on.

Cons:

The apartment itself was fine but no frills. The TV didn’t work, had to ask for the wifi password and checking in after hours was not that easy. However the waitress was very helpful.

Modern, bright building with lovely staff and very clean room
Pros:

Bright room, nice balcony, good shower

Cons:

Building work going on so noisy in the morning but these things can’t be helped. Car parking spaces are small, would be difficult with a big vehicle

Relaxing short weekend away.
Pros:

Good size room, new renovated.

Cons:

Maintenance/upgrade happening in the hotel, but didn’t cause an issue. However there was music playing from the early hours, about 4am (staff?) and some noisy staff talking loudly. Restaurant at the Gold Club next door was excellent.
