Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests appreciated the friendly staff and nice atmosphere, but many expressed concerns about cleanliness, room size, and the availability of amenities. The strong mould smell in some rooms was particularly alarming for families with young children. Reservations for restaurants were difficult to secure, and some guests found the facilities not up to the expected five-star standard.

Sebastian, Jul 2018
Pros (+) The grounds, the restaurants look nice. Some of the food is of OK quality, there are usually many choices at the main buffet. Some of the staff works hard and they try to serve you well. Many however are just overwhelmed.

Pros (+) The property and grounds are really beautiful, very well maintained. The pool are pretty great and the bar staff are wonderful. The kids pool too is a nice feature. The Brazilian restaurant is really nice.

On check in we where told the same thing, so obviously they didnt bother trying to arrange one before we checked in, one was provided for us the next morning. When it arrived it had no mattress, 2 folded up blankets deemed to be...
