poor signage old gym equipment
The breakfast was indeed very good, providing an acceptable start to the day.
I found the absence of clear signage quite frustrating. Navigating the hotel became unnecessarily difficult. The gym equipment also requires updating. It seems maintenance is not a priority.

some issues need addressing
faulty air conditioning sharp stones
my stay wasn't the best. the air conditioning in my room didn't work well making the room too warm. also, the beach area had sharp stones so swimming was impossible. my leg got cut after only a few minutes. i think they should do something about those issues.

Adequate Stay with Some Issues
private balcony balcony view polite staff quality food high prices non-functional kettle unhelpful receptionist
My room had a private balcony.. it offered a lovely view. The staff demonstrated politeness and respect. The breakfast buffet featured great quality food.
The prices were very high for almost everything. I also found a non-functional water kettle in my room. Professionalism seemed to be lacking with the receptionist.. they did not offer sufficient help.
