Unfortunately a terrible stay for us, the staff/volunteers were unpleasant and rude, did not talk to us and when we asked any questions they would roll eyes and reluctantly reply. The rooms were unbearably hot. No kitchen for guests which is advertised but they would not even let us borrow a fork. Quiet hours were stated until 10pm but we were forced out of the pool at 9:30pm quite rudely as the staff wanted to go home/to sleep. We ended up leaving a night early. Do not recommend :(
