The resort is older but better in many ways. We had an 8 day stay. The one bedroom apartment was on the top floor only accessed by 4 flights of stairs. This was a surprise, but was fine as we're now fit enough. It was also quieter and more private than lower levels. We did watch the air planes landing approach from bed after the lights were out, but they didn't disturb us. Much better than being on the take-off path.
It was a challenge to hold a BBQ lunch for 6 (4 non-resident), but being in a fully covered facility in the gardens, all worked out well, despite a rain shower. The BBQ area and gardens are brilliantly maintained and gorgeous. We didn't use the pool as were too busy, but it looked good.
We loved the easy care granite look manufactured stone and wrought iron (mock?) tables. So easy care and just what one needs on holiday. You can put your feet up on the coffee table after a hard day of walking. We didn't particularly like the manual (no cords) panel blinds on the balcony doors & windows, as they hooked up on the louvre handles.
The kitchen is basic and tired, but once again was fine for us. We did not like the half size tea towel or scourer though as we did cook and wash up. With no dishwasher please allocate good cleaning supplies.
The shower over the bath is a little awkward and we were a bit concerned about slipping.
Parking was ample and the laundry in the apartment was handy for our length stay too.
We'd definitely stay again with longer stay discount.
