Property was good and check in was pretty quick since I’d already paid online. Parking was easy to get a spot and was free of charge. The room was quite warm, but given that the weather had been very hot it’s understandable. However I’d say it would be a good idea to leave the windows open to help with airflow. There wasn’t a guest booklet or any info in the room we were in so procedures for swimming or the fitness suite etc weren’t readily available. The pool area was grand and a good size. The requirement to wear and/or purchase a swim cap was a bit odd as I’ve never seen that at any other hotel I’ve stayed at. We didn’t eat breakfast as it was rather dear at £20 per person on top of the price of the room.

The hotel is very family centered with a kids activity center and large. Rooms vary in conditions depending on if they are in the refurbished part. A bit disappointed in the condition of our room and the fact that it didn’t have air conditioning. There is constant activity in the bar area at the front of the hotel.
