Clean well laid out townhouse, very strong a/c, decent sized kitchen, fridge, and bathrooms. Rooms were clean and adequately stocked. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful to provide equipment for activities and resolve minor issues with the townhouse. Highly recommended resort for groups and families!

We had a 2 bedroom and it was fantastic has everything we needed. The grounds and pools are great and reception staff. I just wish they had a coffee shop cafe on the grounds of raffertys to get food and snacks. The tavern staff are absoutel horrible I would not go back here, so rude and unaccommodating

Pros: lovely gardens and pools. Cons: very limited supplies in cottage; uncomfortable lounge; inconsistent air con (freezing downstairs and hot upstairs); second upstairs bedroom without blinds; garage not located at cottage; reception staff at check in didn’t explain anything - eg. where to find cottage or that the garage was located further down the hill.

We loved our stay. It was excellent and we will be returning. One suggestion/request...could the heated pool be kept a little warmer in winter? Otherwise we enjoyed the restaurant, loved the outlook of our townhouse and generally we’re very pleased with our stay.

Booked unit wa not available on check in but i was not advised of this. Supplied unit was nothing like advertised. Air conditioning filters were filthy. I would say had not been cleaned in 10 years. Exhaust fans also very dirty. Evidence of cockroaches in kitchen cupboards and bedrooms. Bungalow very musty smelling throughout. Particularly in robes in bedrooms. Would not unpack clothing and put into cupboards. Opening windows posed a further issue with filthy screens blowing dust back into bungalow when opened. Bathroom sink leaked over floor.

The 4 pools were the clincher.

Check in staff were amazing. We got an awesome upgrade. The apartments are awesome, really clean & have everything you need. The 4 pools & numerous tennis courts got a bit of use (mainly pools) loved that both rooms had an ensuite. Overall definitely would recommend.

The setting was amazing, location beautiful but was glad we only stayed two nights as the kitchen was average. It seemed that the crockery, cutlery and pots and pans hadn’t had a good clean in a while and there wasn’t any dishwasher tablets to remedy.

Lovely Resort

We stayed in a 2 bedroom loft cottage. It was lovely and spacious, comfy beds (although I would suggest bringing own pillow). The garden's were lovely and nice pools. The tv in our cottage was in a strange position, ie not in front of the lounges which was a bit frustrating to watch. The restaurant was also being renovated during our stay so no-where to eat but there was a range of courtesy buses available to pubs etc. But all up nice place to stay.

Excellent stay.

The location on the resort grounds is excellent. The rooms are large and have space to put luggage. The main bathroom is large & has a bath. If you have small children- the stairs are very steep & narrow- be mindful of this. The kitchen was large in size- only crockery provided no condiments. The airconditioning seems to be locked on 1 setting- however there are extra blankets in the cupboards. Balcony is beautiful & lot's of wildlife to see. There isn't any parking outside the villa- you need to park a good 5-7min walk away. Again with small children/a lot of luggage this can be an issue. Overall clean stay.
