Travelled with family
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
No 5 star, very bad food & run down rooms.
The hotel looks nothing like the pictures. The rooms are run down, very old and braking, the food is so bad in quality and bad on healthy choices. The location is great, and the pool Is fun. The worse is the food.
