Acceptable Room, Insufficient Services

The seaside view from the room was acceptable.

The bar service was very slow with queues. The drink selection was limited and often served in paper cups which did not meet expectations for a hotel of this supposed caliber.

The design was beautiful and the bed was comfortable. I appreciated having my private pool. The beach was also very close. The staff were cute and ready to help. They provided great recommendations and friendly chats. Food variety was great catering to all tastes.

The water pressure in the shower was low. This made showering less enjoyable. I hope the hotel will fix this problem in the future.

Mixed Feelings About This Stay

multiple poolsshower groutdirty shower grout

The multiple pools AVAILABLE provided a needed escape from the heat.

The room I had was not WELL maintained. There were stains on the carpet and the shower grout looked dirty, it was off-putting. I found that unacceptable for the PRICE paid. I reported this at the front desk, but nothing happened.
