Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Receptionist was lovely, warm and welcoming. Our room was quesrtionable. Im from the country so i understand animals but to have an animal poo assuming lizzard or snake under a chair wasnt ideal expecially when i had children with me. Of a night time i had to leave the bathroom light on to try and atteact all the mosquitoes that were in out room somehow. The buzzing noise from them was so bad and it got to the point i was fighting them off my children as they tried to sleep. The pool was clean and refreshing.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Cottages were dirty, and extremely run down. In need of a lot of maintenance. Greeted at reception with a sticky note to say screen doors broken treat it carefully. Water pressure almost non existent. It was hard to have a decent shower. Hand basins had a trickle of water. Verandah steps broken. Cocktails were good and bar staff friendly. Meals were very average. Breakfast staff inexperienced and unfriendly. Reception staff simply accepted keys when checking out, no chat as in I hope you enjoyed your stay or safe travels home. I was hopeful the online reviews matched the experience. Sadly not the case. Would never stay there again.
