Judging by the reviews written by previous visitors to this resort this is probably not the place to stay if you do not like dogs staying at a hotel, as some people complained about the noise of some people's pets. There seemed to be some issues with the cleanliness of the resort, which again may be due to it being a pet friendly resort. However, others were very happy with the resort, especially pet owners, who are allocated a special lawn area for their dogs and supplied with bags to pick up their litter.
