Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was lovely and everyone was very friendly when being greeted however when going for a meal group of other couples were very loud and we had to leave the resturant to enjoy the remaining time of the night together. The waiter was brilliant and did apologise but I feel if they respected the resturant our stay would have been better. Also we were informed the gold course would have a buggie we then got to the course and buggies were not permitted at this time. The hotel should be informed of this as this also disapointed us.

The property is in an excellent location close to the beach. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the cocktails are some of the best anywhere. Our biggest disappointment was the room. It was quite small and there was no air conditioning at a time when the humidity was at its highest. There was a fan but that was useless because it was so noisy. We also reported that the extractor fan in the toilet wasn't working which added to the heat, but it never got repaired. When we left i asked if they had rooms with aircon and was told yes they do have some. When paying over £625 a night for accomodation, food and drink, I would have expected at least that!
