Fab-u-ous! The part we stayed in has only just opened & some landscaping still taking place outside but didn't cause any issues. All the staff were brilliant, large room, spotlessly clean & the food excellent. Lovely pool area & a short walk to hop on, hop off bus stop or the hotel offers a shuttle to some locations. Couldn't fault anything, we will be going back next year.

Lovely scenic views, the staff were amazing and hospitable, a slight shame there is currently a lot of construction work going on around the hotel area, but I’m sure when it’s all finished, it’ll be worth it!
