Room was tired & outdated but clean, cleaning staff always smiling & friendly. Markets Thursday & Sunday evenings but no shopping options close by. Free shuttle to some main attractions close by would be helpful for guests. Staff at desk a little vague about sightseeing options for tourists, not helpful when we asked. Lovely pool, pool bar very nice but small. The area around the pool bar should be adults only, no children splashing & yelling around customers or taking up the stools. The pool bar staff are lovely considering during our stay, we observed two males on seperate days, being rude & very disrespectful to the staff making drinks. The staff did very well ignoring the insults. It didn’t appear there was any security close by to ask the men to leave. Overall our stay was pleasant, we weren’t there for the casino so not sure we would stay there again.
