Ideal place for family getaways.
The property offers a lot for kids and families, making the hotel an ideal location for parents to enjoy a getaway with their children. Reviewers noted that there is plenty of space for young ones to enjoy the outdoors, as well as kid-friendly indoor games and activities.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Interior is dated and could use refurbishing.
Many guests felt that the interior design of the rooms did not live up to the standards of the rest of the hotel. People commented on the dated decor, old hard furniture, and drab overall appearance in the suites.
negative:
Prices are on the higher side.
The hotel is not the best value for money, particularly the restaurant and bar fare. Visitors noted that the food and drinks were very expensive and that the location is perhaps most suitable for special occasions.
negative:
Families create crowds and noise.
The establishment’s popularity as a family-friendly destination brings crowds, which means noise. The building can get noisy with children in the busier seasons, and the pool areas in particular were said to get very crowded. Thin walls and ceilings do not help.
