As a returning customer to this hotel it noticeable how tired it has become , needs refreshing , we went for the classic rooms as we were only there for the golf for 5 nights and the extra expense to upgrade was better spent on the food and drinks at the resort and hotel which were quite pricey, one room was fine and as expected from other reviews however the other room had a strong drain smell from the start , it was reported and the staff didn’t seem surprised and offered to come up and pour some bleach down the toilet and sink , the smell continued to come and go so maybe another thing that needs looking at , we enjoyed our stay although if your booking the shuttle bus to the golf course then make sure you have everything confirmed as we noted that sometimes making arrangements where a bit like left hand / right hand and not very good communication between the reception staff, the drivers and the courses !
