Superb as always. We will be back.
Amazing hotel. Highly recommended for a total relaxation holiday. The restaurant within hotel had a great selection and accommodated to our needs (im vegetarian). Pool sides were great and really quiet. Clean hotel. Hope they one day introduce a shuttle to the local shooing centre as taxis are expensive compared to the rest of the world.
Went for an anniversary stay. For what was paid I would expect more in terms of room standards and facilities. The resort is very big and I assume a large amount of the cost is used for it's maintenance, which to be honest guests would never stop to use or admire. They need to invest more in the current basic rooms and offer more dining options. But with that said the dining options available were good. Service from all staff was faultless too, expect for the ladies in the boutique store! But overall a good stay and I would go again.
