family friendly stay

polite staffavailable activitiesmaintained gardenshigh dispenser
I ate at the restaurant a couple of times. The food was very good! the staff was polite. there were available activities on site and a surf beach nearby. the gardens were a credit to the gardeners. They maintained them well.
the soap dispenser in the bathroom was too high for my daughter to reach, and i could hardly reach it! also. the bath screen leaked badly when the shower was on.
Rooms

the family room featured a full-size fridge, beneficial for storing milk. the room's proximity to the play area allowed for easy supervision. the room was a family room with a large layout, comfortably fitting our family of four.

The indoor pool was a nice feature.
The room felt dusty and wasn't as clean as I expected. The refreshment choices were also quite poor! I hoped for better, especially considering the cost.

fresh fruitmouldy bathroomsqueaky bed
the breakfast was good with plenty of fresh fruit and yoghurt available.
The bathroom was very mouldy. The squeaky bed also made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. The entire room felt quite dirty and is in need of an upgrade. it really wasn't very relaxing. the condition of the room significantly detracted from the experience.

the lodge provided ample space and maintained cleanliness throughout my visit. the staff impressed me with their really good politeness and readiness to assist. various on-site activities kept the entire family entertained. this resort is perfect for a family holiday (i cherished every moment!).
the breakfast options seemed a bit limited, and the cooked items did not appeal to me as much as i had hoped.

The family room was super spacious. It included soft, comfy beds and sensible pillows. The water pressure in the shower was excellent and the soaps left my face feeling great. (I never expect that from hotel soaps!).
The evening meals were limited. I found them to be expensive. The meals also seemed unappetizing. The 'private beach entrance' involves hiking up and down sand dunes. I also saw a sign saying 'caution snakes' near the entrance.
