great pools, spas, tennis, squash, gym, great staff. what I didn't like so much was the very low and very soft beds, very small fridge that drinks rolled out of all the time, thin single-ply toilet paper, bulk soap and shampoo dispensers instead of toiletries, a microwave would be an added benefit too. but despite these things, the staff were amazing, and the overall facility was amazing too. I market it down from and 5 to a 4 because of those things mentioned, but the rest is 5 out of 5, all the way.

We have stayed many times and really enjoy the friendly and efficient staff and the effort of the grounds staff to keep it looking really well kept. The hot pools are a real draw card. The rooms are clean and staff do a good job servicing, but showers over baths is not great for older clients. This is gradually be changed but pays to ask if you don't want a bath. New management have reduced some benefits, eg. free breakfast for members and no 'welcome back' gifts. The grounds are lovely and the walk along the hot natural stream has potential for development to add to the stay experience. We ate in and the meals were reasonably priced and good quality. Drinks were a little pricey! We look forward to our next stay.
