We stayed in one of the villas on the site. We had a fantastic holiday but had a couple of issues. Firstly, the pool tiles were coming off and needed some maintenance and repair, we reported this to the receptionist at the Gramacho golf clubhouse. Secondly on the night we arrived we were taken to the reception at the hotel as this is the 24 hour reception. Unfortunately because we arrived at 21.20 there was no shuttle bus available to take us to our villa. The shuttle bus finishes at 21.00 hours, that is a gap in helping the customer get the best experience. So we had to walk with our suitcases and golf bags on unlit narrow roads to our villa without knowing where we were going. Very fortunately whilst we were walking a vehicle pulled up and asked if we needed any assistance. The vehicle was a lady who worked at the hotel with her husband who was picking her up after finishing her shift to take her home. They were brilliant and managed to locate our villa and take us there. The employees name was Ruby and she is an absolute credit to the company and went above and beyond to help us locate our villa as I don’t think we would have done so without her. We were very relieved to have made it to our villa. Throughout our holiday all the staff at the resort were friendly, very helpful, attentive and helped make it such a great holiday especially after our issues on the night of our arrival at the resort. The villa apart from the pool was large, lovely and spacious and very clean. We felt the whole resort was superb, well laid out very helpful friendly staff, we will definitely be returning again in the future although we will come on an earlier flight.
