Liked the open layout, especially the foyer and gardens. Breakfast was like a competitive sport some mornings. Staff did their best to manage the volume of people that were fed each day but at times it felt over whelming and not all a relaxing way to start the day. We were told up to 800 were fed each day!

On the Friday, after an almost 90 min drive from the airport with an infant, we arrived at the main gates only to be told our car could not enter, within seconds the driver of the taxi and security asked us to hop out of the car, our luggage was taken out and we were made to wait outside the main gates like a bunch of stowaways whilst other cars drove past. All this with a 5 month old child. After a number of cars drove past giving us odd stares, a buggy arrived for us and much to our horror told us that taxis are in fact allowed inside the property. We were flummoxed as to why we were made to wait outside! Upon check in, I made a point to raise this with the manager on duty, Joe, and he said the taxi did not have the appropriate ID. Whilst this is fair in itself, I asked why nobody bothered to explain this and left us on the side of the road clueless? He was quite apologetic after a protracted check in, he upgraded us to a
