Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Told on arrival that there had been a mistake in booking and we were to be accomodated at a grossly inferior hotel 2km away although we had booked months ago. Eventually they found us a room but other friends were not so fortunate. It has become apparent that overbooking is a regular practice here. Beware.

Our stay was excellent. The service & food was great and the staff were very friendly. The unit was really comfortable but could do with minor improvements, the air con was almost non functional in ours. The main reception restrooms needed attention & better lighting. Really enjoyed our stay though & will return again!
