"Great pool, buffet and comfortable clean rooms. A great place for a family holiday. The hotel is isolated in not the best neighborhood I’m afraid. But as we went all inclusive we didn’t need to leave the property. "

2.0 out of 10, (1 review)
"One of the worst hospitality service ever. Won't get a towel, bedsheet or toiletries. No cleanliness and smelly dusty rooms. No room service. Swimming pool with decayed leaves and house full of mosquitoes. Broken room locks and the bonus is you won't get water in toilet. Needless to say a poor management by owner and totally irresponsible behaviour. Please don't waste your money by looking at beautiful pics of the villa. Save your money for better stay. Even worst hotels will give better...
