Not pleasant
Pros:

The location is great. The catering staff are kind

Cons:

I arrived at the hotel in the early evening. The room was damp . We put the fun on in order to get rid of the mouldy smell . It smelled the same after 2 hours. We asked the receptionist if we could change room. He told me it was fully booked but there were many departures next morning and The dayshift receptionist could help me. I asked the dayshift receptionist next morning who told me she could only help me in the evening . I came back in the evening she told me it was fully booked again which I knew it was going to be her answer from the tune she served me in the morning. Another issue was the hair gel dispenser was dry when I was in the shower . My husband went to reception and the receptionist told him there were hair gel in the room. I had to stop my half shower and wrapped up my watery hair and went up to ask.

It's a nice accom with this price range
Pros:

We like the location where it's very close to the beach and bus stops. I also like the bar area where there is facilities like pool table and live music. The room includes a hairdryer, towels, and have a decent view.

Cons:

I think they could have offered more toiletries like tooth brush, tooth paste and lotion. The room is also not very sound proof so you can hear the live music or people talking in the corrodor.

Close to beach, good pool, no air conditioning in rooms.
Pros:

Very close to beach. Ocean view room had great view as no taller buildings around. The pool was a decent size and open 7am-9pm. You had to go in two minimum as they 'don't have a lifeguard', though the pool was only about 5 foot high max. They did say we could use the pool after check out, so that was a bonus. There was entertainment and bingo in the evening, but we did not attend these.

Cons:

There was no air conditioning, and the windows didn't open much. There was a plug-in fan in the room, but as we visited in July, it was still pretty hot.
