Just ok for the price but wouldn't s
Pros:

Breakfast was adequate.

Cons:

Evening meal was poor. Manager gave us 25% off our bill and a free drink.
We were looming forward to relaxing at the pool and jacuzzi but we had to wait for 20 minutes to get in and then had to take our belongings to the poolside as there were no locker keys left. Then we found the jacuzzi wasnt working.
Our shower cubicle in our bedroom had black mold in it.

Pros:

The room was lovely and well equipped.

Cons:

The food was awful. I had a black hair in my starter for my evening meal. The Morrocan roast was just a "slop" on the plate. On complaining about the hair all i got was.... I'll tell the chef!! And that was it.
