Really disappointing given the expense
On the first night it took me 30 minutes to get through to in room dining.
Then I was advised there was no standard beers available.
The food that was delivered was terrible.
The room is tired and does not accommodate any USB fittings.
I found hair in the bathtub the following morning.

Better signage needed
Signage to find rooms is minimal and difficult to see at night.
Tap water pressure was weak.
Service was wonderful just the above aspects were a disappointment. The room itself was comfortable but more a 3 to 3.5 star quality. The service from the staff pushed it up to 4.

EXTREMELY outdated. There was dust built up on the vintage curtains, stains in the bath and shower, the carpet was so old and felt dirty under your feet. The tiles needed a good bleach. 2 star motels I’ve stayed in were more comfortable.

Horrible stay
The main area is beautiful and the pool area is great. Checked in thinking fornthe money we paid we will be placed in a decent room. It felt qe cheked into a 2 start motel. Inhave photos of rusty items , the carpets were smelling lile mold and old, dust everywhere and the bathroom was dirty and beds looked like 1970. Lamps were dirty and broken. Terrible experience. For dinner I order food that came one hour and half later. Such a disappointing experience. Not worth the money not worth ever going back there.

Great place to relax and enjoy!
We had everything we needed during our 3 night midweek stay.
The room was set up well and bed was comfortable.
We had enjoyed the walks and wildlife, great food, especially the buffet breakfast with the best coffee from Milano machines. The service was very friendly and helpful. Also nice water activities, like fish feeding and sailing.
