Not honest
It would be nice if they tell you that it’s a gay hot spot Nothing against anyone. But you most know where are you going to spend your vacation. It was a different vibe that we expect

Good for Gay men travelling alone
Great to meet other guys at the bar. I made Mary's and we went to party together. It's good fun. Hotel is good. Gym was never busy. Pool is small but fine. The pool area I initially found daunting but actually it's fine.

Faultless- Exceptional
Faultless for friendly, helpful staff, cleanliness and quality of accommodation. Brilliant location with great facilities. Room upgrade was very welcome. If I was being exceptionally picky the only improvement is better wifi reception.
