Our family had a blast at this resort! There were so many activities for both kids and adults, like putt putt and a great pool area. We enjoyed our meals, especially with the new temporary restaurant serving delicious lamb curry and a scrumptious breakfast. However, the recent restaurant fire was a setback, but they managed well under the circumstances. Overall, definitely a good value for a family getaway, despite needing to fix the potholes nearby.

My stay was truly enjoyable, as the accommodation was excellent and the service outstanding. The location was beautiful, but I did face some challenges with the rough roads. The dining experience was delightful, particularly the atmosphere of the new restaurant, though I wish I could have spent more leisure time on-site. Overall, it’s a great spot for a quick escape, balancing comfort and value well.

This resort has its ups and downs. While my stay was marred by cleanliness issues and poor security, I also experienced a serene, cozy stay with excellent, accommodating staff during another visit. The amenities were comfortable, yet left a lot to be desired in terms of upkeep and safety. If they put in the effort to update and maintain the facilities, it could be a lovely escape.

My stay at this resort was quite the adventure. The staff were genuinely welcoming and made me feel at home, and the cleanliness of the resort was impressive. However, I was a bit let down by the limited activities available for kids, and there was some unfortunate construction due to the restaurant fire. Overall, it has great potential, especially once the restaurant is back up and running.
