"We booked this hotel as the website said excellent but it wasn’t. It felt like they were very short staffed and it wasn’t cleaned daily, as we saw some mud at the top of the stairs for 3 days. Twice I abandoned the bar as no one came to serve me after 15 minutes. Pool is ok. Never used the restaurant. ..."
