Pleasant family stay

Very happy with the hotel, this is our 3rd stay. Promptly accommodated my requests. Cleaning and fresh towels (if you wanted) every day, good spa and pool, food was ok, would definitely return. No film channel in English was the only negative.

Highly recommended for the overall experience and range of amenities. The rooms were modern, recently updated, clean and functional. View of the mountain was splendid. The terrace restaurant was outstanding in both service and quality, including drinks, cocktails and desserts. The pool is half Olympic size, flanked by two Jacuzzis and enclosed in a beautiful still.. The spa offers a range of hot/cold exposure plus massages and other services. Kids (and adults) can enjoy the arcade and billiards rooms. Plenty of outdoor seating and indoor lounging area. Generously stocked breakfast and lunch buffets.

Friendly and helpful staff, but wifi often ultra-slow or non-existent - an on-going problem reception told me. And this $200/night hotel warns guests they'll only get one sachet of instant coffee in their room for the whole stay!

Hotel is great in excellent location, all the staff are helpful. The only gripe is no aircon, the hotel is very warm. With the noise from the rest of the resort leaving the window open isn’t an option.
