Improve quality of meals and variety!

I always go to the Lodge during December. I have been doing so for the past 6 years. The cleanliness and comfort are still pleasing. Im not happy about the quality of the food though, especially the breakfast and the buffet. The food was bland with limited choices. Change the chef and bring more variety to the food, please. The standard has been going down over the years, but the price per night has been steadily going up

Lovely family hotel. Good balance of kids programs and adult activities. The view is stunning, the food is good too. Only improvement is for them to upgrade gym facility but besides that lovely. Definitely worth coming back.

Room with a view

The location and the view from our room was absolutely outstanding. Lovely pool area. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. Dinner was OK but disappointing in the sense that it was rather pedestrian. Breakfast was much better. They were very accommodating of my children who loved the hotel. I would encourage the hotel to look at moving away from plastic straws. When I refused the straw the waitress looked rather puzzled.
