Didnt realise when we booked, that the Villas are tucked onto the side of a water theme park, which is open to the paying public. We had our own self contained villa and own pool, with a locked private garden. There is nothing to stop day visitors wandering around the paths between villas. The villa was ok, but tired; the wooden floor needs revarnishing, the swim deck had loose boards and some protruding nails and the net curtain in the bedroom was stained, so I felt it was overpriced at $316AU night. Breakfast buffet was only available one day of our stay, after that we had to order from the menu, which was limited. There are 8 public pools, which are pleasantly warm. They are spring fed; emptied at dusk; refilled overnight and are not chlorinated, so dont swallow the water. The water in the shower is the same warm water as the pools so no hot shower. There is a very small shop 200 metres away, so BYO snacks; especially BYO alcohol for in your villa. The ATM 50 m away does not take Aust cards. The flies are ABSOLUTELY awful. The resort is cashless, with a wristband bar code, you put credit on. Check in was a little slow, but the explanation of the resort and the credit wrist bands was rushed and difficult to understand, I asked for it to be repeated but it wasnt. The resort is overdone in purple with hundreds of elephant statues. Some mornings, there is an aerobics class, with incredibly loud music at 7am. There are steps and stairs everywhere, not wheelchair accessible.
