The things we liked were, lovely greeting at reception, we were in the executive suite which was lovely and the outlook was very beautiful, nice pool area and great location to be able to walk to shops and restaurants. Things we did not like were one evening we decided to dine etc at your restaurant. Before dinner we ordered some drinks from the bar area which they said they would deliver to us in the lounge area, after waiting 20 mins and watching other people receive their drinks that ordered after us, we enquired at the bar, and were told sorry we are just about to make it, obviously understaffed. Then after enjoying our lovely entree and main meal in the your restaurant we decided we would order dessert and a coffee but sadly we waited a very long time for the waitress to come and ask us but this did not happen as the 2 waitresses were busy doing other jobs, perhaps under staffed again and so we sadly decided to leave it and left. We were very disappointed in these 2 incidents which lacked attentive service, especially in a bar and restaurant at a highly rated resort. We dined elsewhere the following evening and were waited upon by very attentive staff, meeting all our needs in a timely manner. This may seem a small thing but to us, staying in a beautiful highly rated resort, in a beautiful suite it certainly tainted our overall view of your venue.

Disappointed in room: mobile charging ports did not work. No phone in room, if needed to contact front desk would have to call main hotel outside line using our mobile or walk down to desk. Apparently phone system is being upgraded but rooms should not have been left with no phone. Basin in bathroom badly cracked and should have been replaced. I wouldn’t expect these sort of issue in a hotel of this class
