Ok for one night, are clean but probably could be modernized free shuttle is nice even though it was late going back to the airport my 40 minutes. It would be nice if there was a washing machine but there was not and there's no free breakfast of any kind.

Have stayed and knew what to expect almost...the room was partitioned separating the bedroom from the rest of the room allowing the night owl to howl. Neither of us could grasp the Samsung TV remote.

Disliked: Staff & service
Liked that restaurants were near. And loved the free shuttle service to & from airport. However, saw staff be not very kind to customers. Even kicked out children from the pool without reason. Stated “only 12+ can be in the pool” in a not very kind manner. But their signs clearly say “children under 12 need adult supervision”. Two families left with very sad children. Poor families. And confusing rule changes

O.K., but there must be a better choice!

The visit was o.k., but the price was a bit high. The connecting restaurant was o.k., but not great. About a 4 out of 10. Again, too pricey for what you get!
