The room was clean and amenities were fine. The towels weren’t really clean and there were stains on some of them. It was cool that there was Netflix on the TV. I was expecting a bit more for the price that I paid. Overall it was an average experience.

Was pleasantly surprised after reading all the bad reviews. Unfortunately we were only given 1 towel but everything else was as expected. Bit run down but get what you pay for.

Room was small no couch to sit on, edge where carpet and tiles in kitchen was sharp and had sharp tacks sticking up. No Milo or hot chocolate. Very little linen- eg two guests one flannel, 2 towels, 1 bath mat. Staff were nice. Balcony when wet was very slippery. Pool was empty.
