Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Lower comfort score — Comfort comes in at 6.2, below the resort's other ratings, which may reflect inconsistent mattresses or temperature control.
- Value rating below average — Value scores 7.6, while some guests found rooms cheaper than expected; still, it's one of the lower-rated aspects compared to rooms and service.
- Paid Wi-Fi in rooms — Unlike many hotels that include Wi-Fi, this resort charges for in-room internet, which may be an unexpected extra.
- No pets allowed — The resort does not accept pets, so travellers with animals need to look elsewhere.
