Encore by Mingara

Encore by Mingara

10/10 Excellent
"Free access to the extensive, upscale, massive gym next door was a huge bonus. And the 50m lap pool and kids swim area with a whirlpool. All restaurants and cafes at the adjacent club had fabulous food and entertainment. Everything you need all next to each other but also felt separate as they are different buildings allowing a chance to relax and escape. Rooms, hotel and staff absolutely cannot fault. Other activities like beaches and shopping etc very close by. Thanks Mingara."
