Reviewed 6 September 2014

We have been going as a family down to stay in these villas for around 14 / 15 years. Always the second week in July and it never dissappoints.
The self catering villas are spacious and handy for my and my father as the villas are situated alongside the 13th hole of the Gold Coast Golf Course.
Within walking distance is the hotel aswell which contains a bar, gym, swimming pool, sauna, steam room.
Overall it is just perfect for our big family to relax away for 1 or 2 weeks and the weather always seem to shine for us :)
One negative point I do have is when staying in the villas, there is no accessible wi-fi as it is only from the hotel, and because we are travelling from the north, it is too expensive to use data so we have to go to hotel to use which isn't the worst but internet & technology being such a big part of life these days, I feel it will be required eventually.

Would defo recommend anyone to go!

Room tip: Book ahead & book a golf villa! You won't regret it!

Stayed at a two bed apartment two weeks ago with our two kids and was impressed with family table quiz, bouncy castles, the pool all very child friendly. Disagree with the musty smell and if a guest wants five star treatment they should stay at a five star hotel and pay those prices. Staff was very friendly and efficient. Will go back.

We stayed here for a short break to celebrate a Birthday. On arrival the Receptionist was friendly and efficient. I was planning to use the Ladies close to Reception and was not at all impressed. The floor was very dirty and looked as though it had not been washed for some time. There was no ''hook'' on the rear of the door to hang a bag and I was not placing my Bag on such a dirty floor.!!!!. First impressions and all that, off we went to our room not knowing what to expect. The room was very clean and looked freshly painted however the TV was something I saw back in the 60s a TINY little screen, I think my iPad had a bigger screen.The Bathroom although equipped with the essentials left a lot to desire. All the Taps rotated as one tried to turn them on they consistently dripped. I think they perhaps forgot to paint he Bathroom in their attempt to refresh the room. The Decor in the room again was back in the 60s. The Beds were very clean and comfortable. We had Dinner in the Towers Restaurant and I must say it was very very good. Service was efficient.and Staff were friendly. ( Michael) was the Gentleman that served our Table.Our Group of 6 were very satisfied. Breakfast was again very good with a wide selection to chose from and unlike a lot of Hotels ''hot'' breakfast was served to the Table.The Location, Food and the views are the selling points for this Hotel but it is crying out for a refurbishment and a good maintenance plan. Probably would not stay here again but would certainly recommend the Restaurant. Must mention the Parking is FREE.

We rented the three bed cottages on the grounds of the hotel. They could do with been updated and smelled musty. The oven was very slow to cook food in and was rusty where knobs were so you never knew which hob was on till it got hot. It's a lovely location but you need a car to get to shops etc. the bunker bar in hotel is ok, again needs severe updating. Food only ok, definitely not hand cut chips like they describe on menu. The lodges are four bed and look very spacious and new. The good thing about the cottages is that the playground is in full view of your window, so handy for keeping an eye on small kids. The lodges are situated at the back. Overall enjoyed the stay but I'd say teenagers would be quite bored

Dear Guest,

Thank you for taking the time to review us on Tripadvisor.

The Cottages are our original product and a house of the 1980’s era in style and standard and indeed are priced accordingly offering excellent value for money.
However we do have 12 Villas on our Golf Course and a further 26 Lodges on the grounds of the hotel which are superior standard to the cottages.

I regret to learn that you found the bar outdated as we have just refurbished prior to this season and indeed are awaiting delivery of new Window furnishings.
I take on board the comments of you review and will address with the team here as necessary
