"A great experience except when checking out. I had paid my bill the evening before and when leaving the keys back on the next morning was made to feel like I was trying to escape without paying by the nighttime reception person I had to find my payment details from evening before to prove payment. Surely this should have been noted on the computer. It left a very poor impression on what had been an excellent trip"

"We travelled as a family of 3 and booked a 2 bedroom apartment. On booking the accommodation I did ask for an apartment on a higher floor. We were given a bottom floor apartment which was lovely inside but quite dark with little privacy. The manager did change us to a top floor apartment the next day, which was amazing with wonderful views of the golf course. The apartment was absolutely spotless. Breakfast was included with our stay. There was plenty of choices available with all the staff very attentive. Fresh fruit, drinks and cold cloths were brought to us while we were relaxing around the pool. We would definitely return."
