It was clean and the staff were lovely, the rooms were very nice and huge, and having your own little pool was handy

“Generally, speaking it was a nice stay but the rooms are tired and need to be refurbished.”
The staff were friendly and the location was fine. However I paid $1000 per night for a room that would only be considered 3star in Australia and there was no late check out.
