The staff was friendly and attentive. The room was clean and spacious. We initially planned to stay one night, but decided to stay another night, luckily the room was available and the staff arranged so that we didn’t have to move out and in again.

Location of the room was disappointing as I had paid extra for the Golf view room and was placed on a ground floor room facing the golf course but the views were only of bushes in front of the room. Other from that everything else was excellent.
