(If I could I would have given it a 3.5 out of 5, and it's a shame all my pictures I took of the resort were unfortunately lost due a corrupted memory card)

Pros.... overall the staff are really friendly and helpful. Location is superb with good view, and within walking distance of not only the beach, but also local shops and fuel/petrol/gas stations. In house parking was very convenient with only its cost being quite high.
Resort spa, pool area and restaurant were always clean and the food was extremely nice. Housekeeping very consistent and always stocked up well on extras. Also maintenance issues whenever they occured, were dealt with swiftly and by a friendly team of staff. (Our fridge wasnt cold enough and it was replaced within 30mins after the engineer looked at it 10 mins after I reported the issue).
TV had lots of channels and rooms also provided hard wired facility to access the internet for a more secure connection. (WiFi is available too btw)

Cons.... unfortunately the place is quite dated with in room decor and facilities (like kitchen cooker, and the bathroom shower and bath itself) dating back to the 80's and 90's. In house parking was priced quite high at $27 per night and would have liked to see some sort of discount for 7+ nights parking. However you can choose to park on the streets this is at the expense of convenience, distance and the knowledge that your vehicle would be safer on site. Example being.... the second night of our stay, there was a police chase and it ended with the chased vehicle crashing into 3 cars and landing in a tree which was located in the road adjacent to the hotel itself....just glad I didnt park there that night lol.
Back to the room facilities, the cooker in the Studio rooms were electric and looked like they came directly from an 80's sitcom (though you could tell they were clean and well maintained). Internet WiFi was an open connection not password secured and signal blotchy in some areas of the resort.

FYI, I personally had a Studio room situated in the Tower section of the resort, and it was disappointing to see it as dated as it was. (This was the same for a different room my mother had, and also for everyone else that I talked to during my stay (14 nights).

Overall, it was a nice stay, and only wish it didnt suffer from the above. If I know that it receives updates to rooms, etc I would still look at this place as a choice for future stays.

P.S. I booked this through Virgin Holidays, and they are being made aware of this resort.
