Turned up at check-in on the first day and unable to find anyone, but was dealt with efficiently when we returned. On-site restaurant simple but good. We were there on New Year’s Eve and the resort was packed, but absolutely no problems with noise or unruly people. A great value for money venue. I have stayed there twice now and can recommend it.…
