It would be fine if it was not hot out.
Pros:

The location

Cons:

The air conditioning

They don’t turn it on so when you check in it takes all night to cool off.

It also turns on and off so it wakes you up all night.

Our stay went very smooth, no issues whatsoever. The room was cleaned for the day and clean towels were provided.
Pros:

Property was ok. It’s very quiet if you don’t get anyone in the room on the floor right above you.

Cons:

Everything is clean with exception of spider webs on the ceiling.

Pros:

Since the accommodation is located on a golf course, the air was fresher than a regular hotel. We had a comfortable stay with the kids, were able to cook our own meals, and the staff were very friendly. I plan to stay here again for my next family visit. 😍
