Amazing Food and Friendly Staff

friendly staffearly check-inlow standard

the staff was VERY helpful and friendly. the food options were AMAZING!!! the hotel allowed food to be available all day at the sports bar, convenient. we were even able to check into our rooms earlier, much appreciated.

during my stay, it became apparent that the hotel rooms needed some improvements. the floors seemed like they weren't touched and not cleaned very well. the cleaning standard was pretty low.

i found the sandwiches and tea options helpful upon my late evening arrival. all staff members i spoke with were friendly and professional. the food options were vast and tasty. the specialty restaurants on site were equally good.

the rooms were smaller than i expected. it lacked an outdoor eating area. children could not use at least one of the swim up bars and that was a shame. the swimming pool had lots of hair in it.

the hotel was really pretty and comfortable. the staff were polite and wonderful, they were very helpful with everything (i really appreciated that). the cleaning staff were also amazing and polite, they always kept everything super clean.

the food in the buffet was good, but it became a bit repetitive after a few days. it would be great if there were more variety or rotating themes to keep it interesting.
