A hotel of two halves. If you're lucky and get the new extension, the rooms are lovely but you could be unlucky and get the retro 1980s version which needs a complete update. Very much a golfers hotel so expect groups of males.

Booked the room due to the room rate, however upon arrival realised the hotel was pretty isolated and needed to catch expensive cabs to other locations. Restaurant options were pretty limited and quality of food fell short. Pool itself was good (but cold despite being advertised as being heated), however decking required to be replaced,
