Amazing as a family get away. Staff are nice enough to put us as close as possible and upgrade one room. Husband and son in law had a game of golf. Could be better if our premier suite room has a microwave oven and bigger fridge and simple cutlery like fork and spoon plates etc.

The property was neat clean and tidy with a short walk to the beach. Not sure why they had to take a bond considering that the room was already paid for otherwise a pleasant stay
