Hardly any utensils.( 2 knives, one fork, 2 spoons) Cupboard doors wonky. No WiFi? The grounds were not tidy. Gardens and grassed areas had not been cut for months. The main manager was always helpful but generally others not professional.

The photos look flash but it is old. Shower curtain does not stop water from getting all over bathroom floor. Table wobbles. Room was warm. The unit is called Luxury but it certainly is not. Overpriced for what it is.
