Great Location

Staff could not do enough for us & they are so friendly & helpful. Bungalows are a good size & very clean when we arrived. As it was only a 3 night stay we choose $20 off our bill to forgo the daily clean of the room . Only downside were the pools, one badly needed repairs as tiles were coming off & our feet & hands had green colour of them from rubbing on the tiles. The other pool's bottom looked liked it could use a good clean. Lucky the lagoon water made up for the pools as it was crystal clear!
