Pros:

They upgraded us from a room that had twin beds to one with a large queen size bed.

Cons:

From the entrance the carpet was dirty all the way to our room.

There were no porters for our luggage.

The lift for luggage was not in a great working condition and was old.

Ambiance was not great and it is not true that it is beachside.

Overall dissapointment
