Cleanliness of rooms and also god sizing. Quick checkin

Cons:

Basic TV channels, balcony was not tiled and not seating. No soundproofed walls so here erything. Bathrooms outdated and pool was full of bugs. Picture on ad makes it look alot more luxurious than what it is inside. Rooms. Service was very expensive. For holiday perhaps it's ok but I was there for work so was fairly expensive for me

DO NOT STAY HERE
Pros:

There was absolutely nothing we liked this time staying there.
The night time receptionist was an absolute nightmare! We were on our honeymoon when we got a call at 930 pm to turn the volume down.. we were in a so called king spa suite.. it was barely a double bed.. very bad room. Cost alot.. there was things left under bed from previous guests. We had no milk and no biscuits..my husband was very disappointed.

We had nothing but trouble with the gate upon exit. And the horrific smell that was filling our room from the exhaust fan out of the kitchen.. 🤢 I will not be staying here again and I will be telling everyone we know NOT to stay here.

Cons:

Again! Beyond disgusting staff behaviour and all over bad experience.
