friendly staffdirty windowslarge spiderwebs
the staff was very friendly and helpful .
the air conditioner in my room could not be adjusted for speed or temperature. this made it difficult to get comfortable, and the windows were dirty. large spider webs were near the pool area, this should be cleared given that this is a holiday resort.

The check-in was slow (i arrived around lunchtime). I had to wait a considerable time before the room was ready. The room itself needed some attention. The bathroom door did not close properly. the minibar was not cold. The selection of drinks was not great.
