Good for the price but way too loud at night

The hotel is nice the service you get upon arrival is good and the rooms are nice and big with comfy beds. The only two cons I have about this hotel is the housekeeper.. she was honestly the worst I’ve come across doesn’t clean the rooms properly doesn’t change the sheets and leaves the floors dirty and it takes her forever to come and clean your room she’s so slow. The property is still having work done to it so there’s noise from around 1am-5am and it’s very loud like if you have small children they’d be woken up so on that note I wouldn’t stay here again.

The overall stay was very good, staff was very nice and happy to accommodate for us. However pool side bar was not open at all, which was a little disappointing as it was advertised when we booked. Also the water temperature for the shower was not the best, had to have quick showers. Overall stay would be 3.6/5!

Need improve for the hotel

The hotel is still under renovation. Below is few comment. 1) Worst is shower no hot water. Found water leaking to the electric water heater and the electrical cable at the facility room. Not sure this water leaking will cause electric shock problems to our guests. 2) No spa and no massage service in the hotel. 3) Advertise photo hotel is different from the actual hotel. Please don't advertise the hotel if the hotel is not ready condition.

Stay Away

The pictures are fake! Stay away from this place. No spa, no restaurant, no lobby, no reception, no pool. Only kids pools are available. Nobody speaks English. They have a bar with a very loud music opening late night and till morning. It's not possible to sleep till 4am even in the 2nd building which is pretty far from this bar.
