Pros:

Activities.
Family friendly place.
Beautiful beautiful houses.

Cons:

1. Restaurant: food was not appetizing. Poor menu options. I really didn't enjoy the food and the prices, totally not worth it. Rather self cater.

2. Baar drinks very very expensive for nothing.

Pros:

I like the indoor swimming pool and their outside grounds are well maintained. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the views are to die for and they have child friendly facilities

Cons:

The furniture is old in the rooms, it's even falling apart. The towels were old and cream white instead of being white. They can do better when comes to the room. There's also a gravel road that's about 11km to the resort. The parking are sooo small

Cons:

The bathroom was dirty and the room was dusty as if it was not occupied for sometime. I had to wash it before using. We were a little late for check out and the lady at reception her approach was wrong on telling me that next time we will pay.I am a hotelier...
