1. We found this arrangement in some other hotels too so maybe it is a local thing?The pool and hot tub were great with lots of big fluffy towels.

4. The other big let down is the pool area, which is small for a resort of this size and does not really have a good enough catering facility - served only by a small shack which was unmanned during our stay, so guests had to bring food and drinks from other outlets in the resort.

7. They have a shuffleboard court (just some paint on the sidewalk -- and you have to check the equipment out from the main desk which is 2-3 buildings distant) and a putting spot (completely waterlogged while we there) and a lovely big round pool, but that's it.
