Needs better customer service
We had to wait past the check in time to check in, no consideration was given for the wait. I paid when booking via Hotels.com and the was charged again when checking in (this double charge was reversed) no consideration was given for this. Rooms were clean and tidy but the pool needs some maintenance. No help from reception with booking of activities.
This is not a conventional hotel. The rooms are not in the main building but are located in chalets. Each chalet contains 4 rooms. This means there is a bit of a walk from the reception area to the room. The distance varies depending on whether you are in one of the chalets nearer the reception or not. Possibly not fun if it is raining.
The rooms are large and comfortable. The wifi was fine. I arrived late and left early the next morning so did not eat at the hotel.
My very first online booking of redeemed voucher I made was not confirmed, there was nothing they could do to assist me I ended up paying.
Had dinner for so sick the next morning running tummy from early hours of the next morning.
They had very few variety of food not even hake was available on the menu for breakfast and dinner.
They had not Milo or Hot chocolate.
I had an aweful experience!
We had a very good stay. The breakfast was good and the bed was comfortable. The disabled toilet at reception was not clean though. We need mats next to the bed, it can be very cold in the middle of the night or in the morning to put down feet on a cold floor. Please attend to signage, rom the N2, it is confusing.
