United Kingdom
Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Location was fanatastic
Negative: The property was in poor condition and run down bar a room or too. Several decking boards were loose and unsecured, causing stumped toes until we covered them with chairs. The outside chairs had no back cushions, the kitchen fridge was non-functional, and there was no hot water on the first day or Gas. The main living area and kitchen were poorly lit with no torch available, Overall I would describe it as shabby and run down — though my deeper concern still remains that I booked a chalet well in advance in 2025 in the same resort with the same team, securing a superior property at a competitive rate — a direct reward for booking early and planning responsibly. The owner cancelled this booking in 2026, during peak season, leaving me with no comparable alternatives. By that point, the properties available when I originally searched had all been taken. The only available replacement was a substantially inferior chalet, at a price only marginally lower than what I originally paid. I effectively paid a near-equivalent rate for a far lesser property. The value I secured through diligent early booking was entirely wiped out by the owner's cancellation. All this in the same resort with the same reps I should get a refund versus what that property cost at the time I booked the original one in my honest opinion. As said previously, we have stayed and travelled a lot and never encountered this experience before , if a premium is to be charged it needs to deliver, also happy to take a call I have also emailed 'heksie.limpopo@gmail.com' and sent a whats app Regards Stuart
Summary: Lovely location good family fun nice resort , Complex run down versus money spent
