The staff were friendly and truly helpful, the facilities were substandard.
Pros:

The staff

Cons:

The pool was green, the spa didn’t work, the emails were miss leading regarding the breakfast included, or as we found out not included. Not enough room to place baggage for 2 people in the room. I would not recommend this facility.
