4.0 star property
9.6 out of 10, Exceptional, (105)
"Service was amazing! Staff were so helpful and accommodating and she always had a smile on her face. Awesome value for money! The only downsides I would say is we had someone below us that didn’t follow the time rules of the pool & their hot tub & were outside very loud with their children waking us up, I don’t find fault with the staff but it would be great if the time rules were enforced. And the stairs up stairs was a bit scary walking up in the middle of the rain because it’s so slippery....
