The staff let this place down. Attention to detail is poor. Listening skills also not great and there’s a general malaise.

The facility is nice and the staff are friendly and helpful. This is a place geared for families and if that suits you, I don't believe you can do better. Food is buffet style with loads of selection or you can order from the menu.
