Also, special mention to the groundsman who maintained the garden and facilities around Block 600.

The balcony had a lovely view and the weather was great but we were terribly let down by staff being very unfriendly, ordered drinks at the start of happy hour only received it when happy hour was over, the worst was the head staff member greeting everyone at breakfast one morning was extremely rude and condescending to us …a far cry from our experiences in Fiji
