The room was clean and offered the basic amenities we required, however the styling and furnishing of the room was not what we would have expected from a property at this price point. Prints on the walls were ugly and a real miss match, the couch was tiny and uncomfortable for 2 people. Both the room and the property featured fake plants that were dated and offered no visual value and the stairwells were littered with dead flies. The pool although clean offered limited shade options

Property won me over on the simplicity in booking and checking in. The room looked brand new in terms of hygiene which made it very comfortable.
The pool was also very clean and kept well.
Overall, excellent stay with the kids. Cant fault anything at all.

Great setting. Can walk to 8th hole for beach access (not patrolled). Good restaurant downstairs open on weekends.
It would have been a nice resort in its day.
Now very tired. Repairs overdue. Floor lifting
Mould everywhere.
Even had no toilet paper! Had to go and ask
Also in the middle of nowhere.
Way overpriced

Right from the time we walked into reception- unfriendly welcome (if you could call it that), I’ve been made to feel more welcome at a country motel! Facilities and room were great, however the staff could use some training in hospitality.
A smile or two would’ve been welcome.
