The lounge had unknown gross white stains (I put a sheet over it) and the carpet is very discusting.

“Never again”

Wow, I do not know where to start on how awful this hotel was. We arrived and the front desk area looked pretty run down and smelt like a stairwell in a multi-storey car park. The man attending the front desk gave us the usual conditions to sign for except it had that we had to empty our own rubbish... More

“Family weekend away”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 weeks ago via mobile

Amazing atmosphere & experience. With so much things to keep the kids entertained, you feel like you can start to relax. Will definitely be returning again. Was a good feeling knowing we didn't have to leave the resort for anything as they have a convenience store on site. Cant wait to go back.

This trip was to celebrate my daughters 18th. She wanted to go do all the theme parks for her birthday. This place was the perfect place to stay. Short walk to the esplanade, with its night markets an absolute treat. Bar right down stairs. Everything you could possibly want only a few mins walk. The staff were terrific, very accommodating,...

We stayed here for a birthday weekend. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Great views of the river and fabulous looking swimming pool. Close enough to the casino and the shops. We definitely stay here again. Great for a weekend away or a family holiday. Staff lovely and helpful

“A bit of R & R”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 8, 2016 via mobile

Everything we needed plus more. I don't think the website does it justice. We were met by super friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. Our two bedroom apartment overlooking the river was just perfect! Will definitely be returning 😊😊
