Good front of office staff, great location, Caters for most needs, close to everything in town and can walk to eating places.
It is not the Hilton, but hey, this place is pretty good for a remote location in the middle of no where.
I have stayed here before and this would be my first choice next time too.

The room was okay but very dark, with wood panelling and limited kitchen facilities. The pool was good, however when we stayed the bistro was closed.

Rooms were ok, they could have done with a better clean, they were very dusty.
Would have been nice to be forwarned that their bistro was not open though. Made the booking expecting not to go anywhere else for tea.

What in amazing location the staff were every polite. But unfortunately the rooms seem really dated. From the ac and the tv still an old Antenna style which did not work at all for our stay for our child and down time. Some of the lights in room did not work. The room was ok for our stay but for the price would like something more updated.
