3 / 5 ★Same as above regarding management's attention to complaints; why one resident gets something outside their villa that another resident can't do, even though we pay for it. Also, the noise level continues to be a daily problem that is not being fixed. Easy to state " it's not in our budget."
3 Star
3 / 5 ★Big turn over of staff. Gardens not maintained. Pool (outdoor) too cold to swim in all year round. 6 months only. Have asked many times about increasing winter temperature etc. Petition for cover ignored. Condescending reply from CEO. Give up requesting for improvements.
3 Star
3 / 5 ★Gardens a problem with no supervision

3 / 5 ★I would like there to be more communication and consultation between management and residents.
Two Stars
2 / 5 ★[I feel that] head management are totally focussed on making money at the expense of those who live here. We came with promises make yet not carried out.
