City North Scuba Diving Holidays

Clean room

Pros: Quiet location, excellent breakfast, and good overall value. ​Cons: Quite a few, though we still enjoyed our stay. ​To US travelers: there is NO air conditioning. It reached 85°F on our first day and the room felt like an oven. The rest of the week was better, but the only ventilation was an open balcony door. ​Our room was never cleaned during our week-long stay. There was a standard "Do not disturb" sign with "Please make up my room" on one side. I hung it on the door for a day, but nothing happened, so I thought - okay, we'll be fine. ​The pool is okay, but calling the sauna a "sauna" is an overstatement. It is basically a tiny closet with a bench. My wife and I sat in the IR radiation for 30 minutes and called it a day. Life hack: grab fresh towels from the pool/sauna area since housekeeping won't visit your room. ​The hotel Wi-Fi is wide open with no passwords or encryption, posing a data risk. Use a VPN or avoid connecting. ​The front desk is only staffed a few hours in the morning and late afternoon. Arriving mid-day, I called in advance and got a combination for an entryway key safe. Inside were old-fashioned metal keys: one for the outer door and one for our room. They only provide one room key, which worked fine for the two of us, but could inconvenience others.

The waiter let us have something to eat when we arrived late and the restaurant was already closed. We also were happy with the wide variety of breakfast foods to choose from. We had to unplug the light to have a plug for the CPAP machine and we could only charge one phone. The check-in staff was very friendly and helpful.
