Stayed in one of the Hunters Lodges. Pricey but a great place to throw a party with sauna and hot…read moretub and open plan layout. Friendly drivers take you between lodges and main resort. Our family made good use of the pool, gym, golf and children's activities. Dined at Olive Tree restaurant but Deliveroo will deliver takeaway to the lodges as an alternative.

Now when you first enter there is obviously the wow factor and everything looks nice. But I think…read morethe biggest letdown is the Price, I stayed in one of the lodges,(lodge 6 to be exact) and it was over about £1,300 A NIGHT which is outrageous but I mean it is considered a 5 star resort however in the actual lodge it wasn't the best.:very small garden,dead flies on the bed,shower door was broken and filthy and even the power plug Exploded! However room service did come and help us replace it. But if it was a 5 star resort! Then it shouldn't have been broken in the first place! In the lodge and all around the hotel there are shuttles you can order (free of charge) to take you anywhere and I guess that is nice. Because it cost so much a night it won't really be possible to stay a long time which leads to the next problem. Because of all the other people staying there it is really difficult to get into activities because you have to book them a day in advance and the app is quite faulty and buggy to even get a chance to book it and because you can barely stay there long. I came into here expecting to experience the 5 star experience and that I would try do do every activity but the sheer lack of time that you stay there it is incredibly difficult to do 4 activities out of the tens of ones it has to offer! In the evenings you can go for a fancy meal but some of them are outrageously expensive! I came here on a family reunion and for our evening meal we went to a buffet called The Olive Tree. In the buffet section you have a wide variety of foods and if you want chips I would recommend you don't have them unless you want your mouth to be filled with potato that is basically uncooked! They were flopping about and so delicate they were all squished and broken in the actual tub. So as a conclusion I think I have enjoyed staying here but the other factors have brought it down it wasn't as unexpected for a 5 star resort.

I was part of a tour group who stayed here for one night - and one night was... a lot. As people in…read moreour group were saying, "I wouldn't let my dog stay here." It is utterly no frills, not even carpet or shower walls. There is WiFi, which was helpful since we're out-of-towners (out-of-continent-ers), and the front desk staff was polite and as helpful as they could be (helped with walking directions to a local pub!). We were in a handicap room and when one of my bunkmates accidentally pulled the cord, staff were at our door in a jiffy! It's a place to sleep, the doors locked, and there were no bugs - so I guess it wasn't really that bad, in hindsight.

Two of us stayed here at the Ibis hotel, from the outside looked rather like a war zone, and needed…read morea severe major clean from the outside. The perimeter of the hotel had high scale fencing that made it look more like a jail than a hotel. Rooms where definitely made on a budget alright, with toilet & shower in same room with no privacy. The rooms had no facility's but at least there was a tv. Beds felt like sleeping on a pile of bricks they where that hard, the rooms where not that warm either. A big issue that l have is that a member of staff walked into the room without knocking at 2.20am in the morning, what's that all about, imagine if you where a female on your own, I don't think think this was a secure hotel and if it was it certainly didn't feel like it. We where both asleep or at least trying to and there was no noise coming from our room so why would a member of staff just walk in without announcing themselves. Breakfast was the skimpiest that I've ever seen in my life, was definitely budget food, cheap bread, bought in micro muffins six slices of ham on a plate with a few bits of fruit thrown in. As far as hotels go that l would class as a faulty towers with the weird going ons here and definitely wouldn't go back here at recommend this place. I would feel safer sleeping in a car outside.

I booked here in an emergency after incorrectly booking another hotel on different dates so I…read moredidn't seek it out per se, however, it is a very nice hotek with all that you'd expect. The downsides were: Demanding a swipe of your credit card before signing in even though my company pays. This is a pet hate of mine. The food, although very pretty, was expensive and tiny in the restaurant if you need to walk anywhere, which I did, there are no footpaths outside the hotel leading to the nearest major road. I had to walk in the road or on the wet grass, neither very satisfactory will dragging a wheelie case. The remote for the telly didn't turn it on, just off. The wifi in the room was almost non existent. Other than that fine :-)

The hotel residents get to use the spa facilities for free, but non members can sign up to the gym with membership fees. Its nice to just visit for a quiet drink in the lounge bar, where they have regular live singing on weekends, and other entertainment. The have an open log fire and very comfortable seating.
