  • Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

Beautiful location. However, it was quite run down and shabby. Also, room and bathroom were a bit grotty i.e. cockroaches in the bathroom, mould around the taps and tiles on the floor. There were crumbs on the table when we first went in. The pool area needed a good clean.

    Thought we booked a motel where you would have daily cleaning and replenishing items like soap and loo paper. Not so.
