Pros:

Mauvaise isolation, très bruyant, une chambre (relativement loin de la nôtre) faisait la fête tous les jours de 15h à 4h30 du matin en mettant la musique très fort, criant, claquant les portes. Ils ont continué le bruit malgré l'avertissement de l'employée de nuit.
Le ménage est fait au strict minimum, le duvet n'avait pas de fourre, le lit contenait des cheveux des précédents clients, l'aspirateur n'a jamais été passé car des tas de cheveux se trouvaient par terre. Chambre et salle de bain très mal aérées car il y avait des poissons d'argent tous les jours. Les verres utilisés pour boire n'ont jamais été changés malgré leur usage. Les toilettes n'étaient même pas nettoyés.

Pros:

Staff were super friendly and welcoming. It was very quiet for our stay so the pools and facilities were relaxing and reliably accessible. The restaurant meals were delicious.

Only thing that could be better was the breakfast bacon!

Just 5m walk to one beach, ~10m in the other direction to another and some convenient shops just across the road.

It was the perfect first holiday for my little girl, she didn't want to leave.
