The Mercure resort was excellent, however being declined a change of my check out date was bad.
Pros:

Convenient location, comfortable clean room, great swimming pool, amazing restaurant.

Cons:

The only disappointment I had was that I needed to change my booking from 2 nights to 1 as my flights had changed and I needed to leave earlier than expected. I rang a few days before my arrival and the staff member advised that was possible and to speak to the front desk when I arrived. On arrival I was informed by the staff member on the front desk that this would be fine and I could change my check out date and receive a refund, and that I needed to also contact Booking.com. On contacting Booking.com I was advised that I could not change my dates and receive a refund, it was advised that the Mercure had declined this request. So, to date I have still not had an explanation as to why this request was declined. The communication was poor in regard to this issue.

Pros:

Beautiful villa

Cons:

Room service food was terrible and wifi was not working - therefore was not able to use the tv. When asked about fixing it, staff said he would talk to his manager and get back to us. We did not hear anything else.

Good yet ongoing issues with lack of staff, internet access and getting to your room in heat and rai
Pros:

Nicely appointed cabin
Access was terrible due to ongoing renovations yet clear signage would help

Cons:

Accessing my Netflix using my own internet. It was frustrating to try and get your TV to work.
A lack of staff. All staff were good yet there were not many.
