I do not recommend staying here.
We experienced many problems during our stay - namely, (1) a lack of hot water entirely, and then no water in fact, on both days we stayed which is a real let down to not be able to have a proper shower; (2) the food was not very good at all; (3) it was raining slightly and they would not bring food to the room, even though they are supposed to have 'room service', they said they can't accommodate in the rain, which is silly and very bad customer service; (4) we were leaving at 8am for the airport and asked to have a taxi booked and our bill ready - the bill was not prepared and the taxi was 30 minutes late!!! 30 minutes!!! we rushed to make our flight which is a stressful way to end a trip; (5) they would not serve beer to the pool area, (6) the wifi did not work.
Add that on to the fact that in the rooms, there is no TV or hairdryer or kettle or cups. And the toiletries are very basic, just a bar of soap and packet of shampoo. For the price of the rooms, they need to have nice bathroom toiletries.
The manager was fairly unhelpful in many regards, most especially during the missing/late taxi booking to the airport.
I'd recommend this property must train their management staff better, and recognize for this price you need a much higher level of property amenities and customer service. Or, perhaps lower their prices significantly if they are unable to provide.
They've really missed the mark here.
