We stayed at this resort for a few days midweek. Unfortunately, being within a school holiday period our options were limited and this was one of the only places that allowed short stays. Most wanted 5 or more days stay. We also booked through one of those last minute websites so when we secured a hotel room on the days... More

Again any resort run by accountants will never provide service This is classic proof Genuine staff restricted and undertrained with no service protocol Worst resort restaurant I have seen Accountants just cost cutting with serious undstaffing And my pet hate - servicing staying guest rooms after check-outs - why should we have an unserved room all day?

Pro: Gigantic pool that surrounds the entire resort. Con: If you don't have kids I guarantee you will be woken up by someone else's kids right outside your window. Pro: Very good size room with separate kitchen, living area, bedroom, balcony overlooking pool. Cons: A/C didn't work in either room, no safe for valuables. Other things worth noting are that...

My fiancé and stayed her for a few nights as a quick get away. We went out of season so got a cheap deal. We stayed in a swim out lagoon apartment, which we didn't use as it rained the whole time.

The room and bathroom were spotless, and the beds were very comfortable. All the staff we spoke to were friendly and helpful. The restaurant served very well cooked, delicious food although the service was a bit slow. We did not use the lagoon pool as it was really geared more for young children. Our room was in the motel section... More
