I had a wonderful overnight stay at this resort. The airport pickup was prompt, making my arrival smooth. The room was spacious and comfortable, and having bowls and cutlery for breakfast was a nice touch. However, finding the place was a bit tricky as it was understated and easy to miss. Overall, the amenities were impressive but could use a little fine-tuning.

We had a lovely weekend stay at the resort, enjoying the spacious and clean rooms that offered great comfort. The amenities, including the swimming pool and bistro, added to our pleasant experience. However, the dining could have offered a broader selection, and we faced some issues with noise due to a family gathering. Overall, it was a good value for money, especially given the location and available facilities.

I had a pleasant stay at this caravan park, which is well-protected from the winds and dust. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the town center, where you can find dining options in the club and hotel. The sites are spacious and well-maintained, making it a comfortable visit overall. However, the presence of the pub on-site may not be ideal for everyone, especially at night.

Our stay at the resort had its highs and lows. While the King Room was clean and the bed was super comfortable, there were definitely maintenance issues that shouldn’t be overlooked. The overall dining experience left much to be desired, and some facilities could use upgrading. We were pleased with the staff's response to our concerns about cleanliness, but it could definitely use some improvements in various areas.
