Underwhelming Stay, Dated Rooms and Minor Issues

The room felt quite dated. The bathroom had noticeable rust around the plug hole. The air conditioning was inadequate, a definite issue (especially in the summer heat).
The pool was spacious and maintained a good depth throughout. I observed a sufficient quantity of sunbeds around the pool area. I found the views to be amazing from my room. The breakfast service included a wide variety of options.
I noticed some of the furniture was slightly dated.
