We stayed here for a special birthday. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel great and the checkin was quick and superb. We ate at many restaurants and the food was excellent and the service was professional. The bar staff we need to complement especially Kolly and Ersk( the boss ) he knows who we mean. The management were excellent. They were around all the time and made your holiday a treat and make you come back. We need to express our thanks to Jean Pierre. It was my wife’s special birthday and he arranged the day to be that and our gratitude cannot be expressed enough, so we can only thank you. This place makes you feel special and the golf courses and service there is exceptional. Previously you could not eat at lunch at the club house, which has been altered and this is now the correct decision in our opinion and made our holiday also. Thanks everyone once again for a great holiday and we hope to see you once again next year. Read less
