I love staying at the colonial club and as a Ken‘s local do so quite often I was so disappointed in the food and beverage service. We stayed two nights. The breakfast staff were amazing. The night staff very poor English and understanding of menus drinks and service. It wasn’t the shortage of staff to French girls on the front showed appalling service. Speaking in their own language, rude There was no leadership tables were cleared not wiped. Very disappointing.

Last 2 stays and last night I noticed a few little baby cockroaches everywhere. Not sure if it's because of he weather change but I ant have them crawling around. Although the staff who checked us in was great and made the direction to our room very clear by pointing out which carpark was best and what block from thereour room was in. No one has made it so simple like that before out of all the times I've been there. He did great job

We were so excited to stay in a resort but we were left feeling disappointed. It's very run down, overgrown. WiFi connection wasn't great at all, Vodafone reception was also terrible. The small pools water was very murky , full of dead leaves and slimy when you got in. For a family resort two high chairs at the restaurant is not nearly enough. We joined many a family trying to wrangle a toddler on our lap and eat dinner with high chairs nowhere to be seen. Swim up bar definitely hasn't been operational in a very long time , it's covered in dirt and animal droppings, we were all excited for a swim up mocktail , so that was a let down. Photos on the website should be updated to reflect the condition better. In saying all that, staff were very friendly and incredibly helpful. Food at the restaurant was nice. The big pools are good for swimming and the price we paid was definitely fitting.
