The amazing views and nice room balcony were solace on an otherwise not great experience
Pros:

The view was amazing , beds were comfortable

Cons:

Jacuzzi looked fairly unclean so did not use it, same for sauna/steam room areas. Main indoor pool was fine . Amenities didn’t open early morning so not suited for morning people .Majority of staff were not friendly bar lady working on the day I decided to leave early who was very friendly and helpful . Been met with a non friendly reception upon arriving was enough to make you feel uncomfortable. The bar staff were probably the best friendly wise but often left waiting for service when no one in attendance. Breakfast wasn’t great compared to other places in the area.
