"Older resort property that is being gradually modernised and is maintained well. Layout of the resort is good and the continental breakfast is welcomed. The room size was excellent with a nice outdoor area. Only downside was the bathrooms which while clean were dated with a poor layout. All in all a well maintained property and excellent value for money. Would stay again."
