Fabulous but
Stay was amazing. The only issue was with the cleanliness of the swimming pool which was dirty and slippery, also it was smelly. This might be due to the huge crowd But the Hotel should be equipped to manage it.

4/10 Fair

I was offered a paid upgrade during check in because we were 2 adults 2 kids and I was promised to get two single bed and a king bed but we end up no bed in the room. After 3 times complaint , they delivered a very uncomfortable bed that springs would hurt your back but still only one bed . I asked my original room back but no room was available. Solution offered by manager that they removed additional charges for the upgrade but it still did not help at all because we just wanted to have a good rest for 2 days . All family had to sleep in the same bed eventually

Disappointing
Overall hotel is of a lower standard than 5 star. Checkin took 20 (checkout 10) minutes, room bathroom had a bad smell and the room and corridors were in a poor condition. Whilst most staff were helpful they seemed to have a can’t do attitude as opposed to can do. Breakfast buffet was very disappointing with poor quality food and only 1 live egg cooking station. If I travelled to this area again I would pay a few dollars more and stay in one of the alternative 5 star hotels on the same beach.
