Free Wi-fi introduced
As a further guest service we have now installed wi-fi coverage at both Darwin Forest and Sandybrook Country Parks. You may now bring and use your laptop or netbook with you on holiday and be able to access the internet and email at the hot-spots which are around both reception buildings and Evolution Health & Fitness. The best bit is that we are providing this as a free service!
Another Pinelodge innovation!
This should satisfy those guests that were unhappy with the lack of communications on site.
A good mobile phone signal is available 300 yards up the road at the cross roads,it is in radio sight of four masts.
Thanks Collarbone. I tried the wi-fi at the weekend, and it works a treat - very handy. We are continually working on the issue of mobile phone reception, but we remain in the hands of the mobile phone companies. This can only happen when they are good and ready.
Is there plenty of room/seating around the hot-spots?
The free wi-fi we have installed provides quite wide coverage in public areas. At Darwin, we have two hot-spots, one in Reception and the other in Evolution. This provides coverage in our reception lounge, out on the veranda, in the car park, Evolution coffee lounge and terrace - all with plenty of seating. The Sandybrook hot-spot is also based on Reception, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Last Sunday we had a chap who used it most of the day and succesfully got through several rounds of an online poker competition!
