Place is great, spacious, really clean, nice pool, check in great. Only downside’s it’s a bit tired needs a refresh. Some minor things missing, just a few more kitchen items like decent ice trays, Cutting boards, tissues and a shelf in the shower there was nowhere to put anything, Plus there was no remote control for the air con in the second bedroom.
