3 day get away.
Pros:

The pool and hot tub and sauna is very nice. The change room had lockers and was clean. The grounds are lovely. We made use of the bbq. The staff was freindly.

Cons:

Restaurant was closed. It would have been nice to have a restaurant open on site.The coffee machine was a one cup with pods. We had to go to the front reception to get a cup of coffee each morning as there was only 2 pods in room.

It was pleasant enough, but for the price, it was just too high. It should have been a $200 stay.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable. The amenities were good.

Cons:

There is no air conditioning, there were cobwebs in the elevator area. There was an enormous crane fly in our room.

Decent stay but needs work
Pros:

The size and location of the property was good.

Cons:

The room wasn’t very clean. Bed was uncomfortable. Bathroom door didn’t latch closed even after maintenance checking the door. Not enough staff to freshen up the room each day I was there. Staff doubled booked another couple to my room on the second night. Hot tub inside the pool area was broken down and the staff couldn’t give clear answers as to when it was going to be fixed. Staff didn’t tell us the hot tub wasn’t working when we booked the room.

We had a lovely time.
Pros:

Great indoor and outdoor hotubs, nice sauna and pool. Restaurant had great food and good service. All the staff were pleasant and very attentive.

Cons:

Drinks / cocktails at the restaurant could have been better. Rooms were cute with a nice view but sofa bed was more like a single person cot and was not clean. Property is not on the Ocean as it may appear in pics.
