Unfortunately, this is the worst property in the best spot. Personally, I wouldn't stay here unless you have to. Fortunately, it was an overnight stay on our way further south and nothing else was available. Not somewhere I would take my family but ok for a boys trip.

Crap. Nothing like advertised. Delapidated, unclean, suss activities with staff entering and leaving on electric scooters. Reception closed at 7pm and attendant seemed pissed off to be called to check us in. Even though we called ahead with arrival time. Was noisy, toilet seat broken. Shower far to hot with no water pressure in cold tap to adjust.

Pool is out of service. As soon as we got into the room we had no power, had to go and get someone to reset the power box. Could not use the tv as the 2 remotes were for a complete different brand tv and would not change the Chanel. Supplied with 1 pillow. Went to reception to see if we could please get another pillow and a tv remote, was advised all rooms are full (even though there was hardly anyone there) so no pillow and they had to get maintenance for the tv. Both of which were not rectified. We have been here a few times before and it appears it sadly just keeps going down hill.

I walked in to see bugs crawling around on the floor. The couch was the most disgusting thing I have seen in all my time of travelling with work. The whole facility is so run down and dirty. I walked out after 5 minutes of being in the room and found another place to stay. Do yourself a favour and give this terrible place a miss.
