Underrated

Overrated. We were looking forward to our stay, but our stay was underwhelming. The room had only one lamp and no overhead lighting. There wasn’t a lift for our luggage. The receptionist didn’t give us any information on arrival other than where our room was. The breakfast was good but the evening dinner was poor. The photos did not reflect the quality of the room. A shame as we were looking forward to our stay

Where did it end. We ordered a baby cot on checking it it never arrived, tried to call reception 3 times and no one answered. The place was filthy our baby had black legs and feet from the dirt on the floor. There was blood on the toilet door. I went to the bar and tried to order a drink but could not room charge despite providing a credit card on check in. This happened 3 times and had to carry my phone in wet areas just to pay for a drink. The next morning rang 3 times no answer had to call the outside line from my mobile. Then tried to use the gym and my card wouldn’t work. I’ve been travelling around the world for over 30 years and have never seen a more poorly run resort. I paid $700 a night for the room and could not relax once.

The hotel is great - gardens well maintained - staff very pleasant and helpful - housekeeping needs attention : bed top sheet well done, bottom sheet not even streched, cups and glasses not cleaned, coffee not replaced, floor not vacc or mopped on 3 days stay, towels not replaced when required. Housekeeper needs a better control.

Disappointing stay as resort is very run down, rooms were sub standard for the price, not even a saucer for a tea cup, no cutlery. Poolside tables and lounge old and ratty, ants in the room. Did not feel like resort living unfortunately.
