This hotel is in desperate need of an update and better security. I moved my family out after one night as I didn’t feel it was a safe environment.
The room was very dirty. Tacky feeling carpets, outdated and utterly filthy under and behind furniture. There had been no cleaning under or behind the bed for some years.
The hotel is not fenced or gated so anyone can enter the property at any time or place. The grounds are basically wide open for any member of the public to roam. Guests were smoking weed at the poolside, throughout the resort buildings and the guests in our neighbouring room were smoking weed on the balcony and inside their room and their smoke was entering our room from the air conditioning unit and the connecting bathroom vent all night.
The pool was loud and groups were playing their own explicit music over the resort music. There was no security presence to challenge this.
I used the Laundry facilities at 9pm and felt very unsafe. The communal doors didn’t lock so anyone could enter the buildings through the night. People were hanging around in corridors and also in the outdoor spaces, especially so after dark. I suspected illegal activity taking place and felt threatened. Upon attempting to contact security, I discovered the phone lines in my room were faulty and there were no communal lines in the building.
This used to be a fantastic resort. Having stayed a number of times before, I am disappointed to see how the hotel has declined and I now don’t intend to return - which is a great shame.
Wyndham can correct this by refurbishing all rooms to match those featured in the website, improve cleaning, and most importantly invest in better security.
That said, the grounds are beautiful. Lovely ponds, plants, flowers and wildlife. The hotel has potential to return to it’s former glory but the staff need the necessary support and investment to get there.
