    From beginning to the end of our midweek stay, the experience at the resort, is just soo memorable, that I wish I didn't have to return to the city's rat race. The staff delivered service of top notch quality. Absolutely commendable + appreciated. We had friends over for one evening + they were so impressed by the facilties, they're more than interested in investing in the Beekman Group.

    Beautiful place with trees and plants. The putt putt are really nice. The swimming pool are clean. The gym are well equipped and have a sauna. The pool and tabel tennis room are cousy and young people and elderly can both enjoy it. The little rabbits are a so beautiful and we enjoy to feed them carrots. We had a great time. The bingo and welcome afternoon was a hilight. The staff are friendly and very helpful and professional. Looking forward to our next visit.

    Not great... the reception staff were rude (when walking around the other staff where amazing) the unit was small, they said there is a sleeper couch when all you do is sleep on the couch. The appliances were old and almost broken (the toaster was about to catch on fire) Overall, it's not a great stay. The bunnies were nice, though Rooms: Small
