Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property was in a great location and staff was friendly. The TV in my room had no signal for the 4 days. I reported on the first day and the lady brought a different remote. I told her it was not the remote, there is no DSTV signal. She said it was working in the other rooms and left it at that. The pool was green and not real clean.
