It was also excellent that our request to stay in a room near our family members was considered and we were put in the... More

We stayed for 7 nights, Awesome place to stay, kids had a blast, service great, room 233 was nice and clean with plenty of room for the family. Beach is a 2min walk and right next to shops, restaurants etc. will definately be returning cant wait! Highly recommended for a place to relax with the family.

Great resort if you have families and great apartments, three pools, tennis courts and crazy golf, 9 bbq areas fantastic!! You do not need to higher a car as you can walk to a large shopping complex. Beach 5 min walk from Turtle beach. Kids eat free on two nights at the resort.

We have started to replace the older lounges in the apartments with new leather lounges (a 2-seater and a 3-seater) as a result of guest comments such as yours, so next time you stay you may find a fresher...

Stayed January 2014 and thoroughly enjoyed every second of our time there. The kids kept themselved occupied 99% of the time with the pools, mini golf and tennis. As the property (and pools) are gated for security we never had to worry about the children 'getting out'! I would certainly recommend this place to families - gret for the young... More

The original room we had was dirty and dust filled, had foul smells coming from the drains and had cockroaches in the cupboards and ants. The curtains... More
