Uncomfortable stay
The noise level from the pool kept us awake my child could not get to bed.The pool closure time should be brought earlier than 10pm.There should be more activities for the kids the game room as advertised was not found on the property.The wet floors of residents going up and down from beach and pool hazardous ,cleaners should be on duty to attend to this,it was always filthy.My bathroom ceiling was broken and there was no filter to dry our bathroom up after taking a shower too much dampness.

On our arrival they placed us on the 8th floor after requesting ground floor, they moved us to a property with water streaming through light fitting... fire hazard. They moved us to a next room and that was acceptable, WILL NEVER RETURN, very noisy club next door
