    The gym is terribly small. And very basic.

    The room was spacious clean and comfortable bed. With good ablation facilities. A smart TV made it a whole package. The view was also nice, every night I was enticed by people playing tennis. The staff are absolutely fabulous! From front desk to cleaners, bar, restaurant are all amazing, smiling and always helpful. They compensate for the crazy price. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family, not to mention colleagues.

    There was no room service for breakfast and no option for a continental breakfast. The meals were pricey.

    It was centrally located and very neat and clean. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

    The only minor thing that I did not like was that one of the cupboards in our room's skirting was coming off. But that is really a minor detail and did not spoil the stay at all.

    From entering the premises we were greeted at the gate with friendliness and professionalism. Beauty at reception helped us with a smooth check-in. All the staff that we came in contact with showed us and treated us with the utmost respect, friendliness and were professional. The food was out of this world! The breakfast buffet was of top quality with a big variety to choose from. Croissants, a proper English breakfast with many options, fresh fruits and juice, yogurts and muesli and excellent coffee were some of the options. The room itself was perfect. Overall it was very clean and spacious. We stayed in one of the executive suites. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, a good quality TV, aircon for the summer days, small yet big enough refrigerator if you need to keep something cold and a little coffee/ tea area. I would've liked maybe one or two extra sachets of coffee per person as there was only one per person, but that is only me (coffeeholic 😁). The bathroom was also nice and spacious with a huge bath and shower.

    okay so the flat sheet I had had tears and a stain. housekeeping didn't fill the shower gel every time they came. restaurant had better service with room service than when you sat down there. terrible service even when the restaurant was empty.

    the views, space, rooms were beautiful. they handled all my requests promptly though. food and drinks were amazing. restaurant prices were very affordable, loved that
