Perfectly functional accommodation. It was clean and well appointed, but certainly nothing special. We had expected more and were a bit underwhelmed. Pool was out of order for our stay

Great couple short stay

Another good stay at this resort, this time in a one bedroom Alvie unit. Everything great apart from the bed being double not king. Enjoyed the golf on the doorstep but didn’t use many other facilities this visit.

Excellent resort to stay with kids and dog. The accommodation is a great size, beds are comfy and the resort is clean.
