"The property met our expectations in everyway. Nothing was too much trouble for staff and the hilly terrain was easily overcome with golf buggy transportation to all parts of resort. Breakfast catered for most tastes. We did think the cost of spa treatments was a bit high but for travellers wanting massages on a budget these can be found in the village just outside the resort"
