Eve

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The Thermal Pool was the only good thing. King size bed with only 2 pillows, one extra in the cupboard. One top sheet and thin duvet you could spit thru, no extra bedding in cupboard. Air con was either hot or cold, nothing consistent. Fridge rattled and clanged all night. Room decor was tired. Too much door and corridor noise. Restaurant was pretty ordinary, unwashed side salad with no dressing. Most of the menu was deep fried offerings. Will not go back.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
great pools, spas, tennis, squash, gym, great staff. what I didn't like so much was the very low and very soft beds, very small fridge that drinks rolled out of all the time, thin single-ply toilet paper, bulk soap and shampoo dispensers instead of toiletries, a microwave would be an added benefit too. but despite these things, the staff were amazing, and the overall facility was amazing too. I market it down from and 5 to a 4 because of those things mentioned, but the rest is 5 out of 5, all the way.
