Cockatoos Beware!
Pros:

Location was good.
It was very Central.Live music downstairs in lounge bar.
Close to a lot of amenities.

Cons:

Cockatoos destroyed my gifts and ripped my clothing.
Ate all the condiments on the shelf and messed all over the bed. Left the room in a real state.
Beware.
More needs to be done to alert guests of the potential harm as they arrive.
I wasn't able to understand the person behind the counter very well on arrival. Signage outside the rooms should be mandatory. It was a very unpleasant experience. The resort offered no apologies or responsibility.

1000 GBP for 3 nights was not vslue for money.
Pros:

The location was perfect on Catseye beach. The pool was lovely. The green shuttle bus made getting to the marina really easy. View from room was amazing. The island is paradise.

Cons:

Our room 1314 13th floor sea view was the only disappointment of our stay. It is seriously in need of refurbishment. The photo shown on booking.com did not reflect the room. The bathroom was awful, the soap dispensers were rusted to the holder, the toilet seat didn’t fit. Door hinges were rusty. There was a rip on the divan base. The room was damp and dirty. Unable to use the balcony due to the cockatoos and their mess. I understand some lower floor garden rooms have been refurbed but this should be made clearer at booking. I would not recommend this hotel based on my experience unless you have a refurbed room.

relaxing, cannot think about work, or if you do cannot do a thing about it.
Pros:

Breakfast was a ridiculous price if you didn't book it in your booking, would have been nice just to try it but not at that price, could not possible eat that much to justify price.

Cons:

Location and bar down stairs, use of tennis court.
