Not bad

Resort is a little tired & there was a problem with very small ants around the sink and also bathroom but generally pretty good. Enforcement of no smoking around room entrances as well as noise from kids at night outside rooms and early morning around the pool needs to be improved.

Place worked for us as we were there with friends and their families too (we had 5 kids under 10 in total) The restaurant and bar food was good plentiful. Reasonable pricing. The pizza place was fine and worked for the kids. Staff were super helpful. The place was busy every day we were (9 days) there and had what seemed like school groups and sports teams staying. Worked well for us but might not be for everyone. Loved being close to the airport and there were good buses into town nearby (we also had a car). All in all, would totally stay again. Highlight were the pools which always seemed to have space, the staff and the renovated rooms (some parts of the resort could use a spruce up but was all cosmetic). Totes worth it. Ta for a grand wee break :)
