Very good

Stay was good. Shower 🚿 head needs some attention. Leaking. Mattress needs to be changed slowly caving in in the centre. Sleeper couch mattress is horrendous. Sleeper couch was grubby. Needs a good clean. Overall the place was spotlessly clean. Came across 1 cockroach. Pool was good. Cleaning staff and security are very pleasant. Front desk not sufficiently manned.

There should be a B&B option - as the portion of the breakfast is a bit small yet the mini snack buffet set up is real cute.

My stay

Staff were very friendly. The bath mat was very grubby. Carpet in the room is very stained and the throw on the bed didn't appear to be very clean. Also the 1 cushion was extremely grubby.
