I like this property, i have stayed here many times. But it is old, and the gym is pathetic.
The staff is good, the food is good.

My mother and sister were grateful for the fantastic services they’ve experienced from check in until the end of their stay. My mother has been singing praises after her 3-day escapade. Thank you for such wonderful reception you have shown to my family.

Not very helpful in terms of language barrier. No real effort to accomadate. Room was super out dated. Locals friendly just not tourists friendly. Pool was too dirty to use. Wasn't cheap either probably the most expensive for stay at all the properties we chose on this trip.

Really nice resort on the water, but old and needs to be renovated. The air-conditioning wasn’t working very well in my room and it wasn’t cool enough. They came to check it but it didn’t do any good. I think the air-conditioning was just being repaired because there were people out in the hall working on it for two days banging and making a lot of noise. This is the second time I’ve stayed here, I would stay again. I think the air conditioning problem was something they will work out.

Hotel has done a lot of cost cutting and labor reduction causing service and hotel upkeep to be low. I would not stay here again.
