BEWARE!! This is an old abandoned resort that someone is still renting the rooms out. Absolutely no amenities in the rooms. No bed side lamp, no shower supplies, no refrigerator, no microwave. Restaurant is closed down, pool bar is closed down. Its impossible to contact anyone at the property, you have to wait at the reception desk for someone to see you and come over. Very very run down, dirty and misleading. Tiny ass rooms as well.

The hotel had no staff, no daily housekeeping, no bin emptying, no security. We were advised on checkin to use our shower towels at the pool and beach, after doing this it was pot luck if ypu found any member of staff to replace them. No bar, no restaurant, no hob in the roo. Despite it being listed on the booking confirmation. We arranged to see the manager, but they never showed up.

The hotel was basically closed. No daily housekeeping, no clean towels, no security. Our check-in docs (passport & credit card info), were left on the unmanned recrption for 24 hours, we removed them ourselves! We found a single staff member and made our complaints, he told us the manager would come to site an hour later. We waited for 30mins, nobody came, we passed said staff member 15 mins later, they just have a shrug. Appalling way to treat paying customers. Hotels.com need to remove this place.

The place is not as advertised, it needs a complete renovation. Rooms were super old. We were not expecting a five star as it was just a last minute secession due to our next accommodations would not be ready until the next day. I still feel it was overpriced for what we had.

Bad experience. The hotel is in pretty bad shape!

Unfortunately, we couldn't have a good experience due to the poor state of the hotel. Minimal staff, closed restaurant & bar, unmaintained swimming pool, no Wi-Fi, bad quality of bath towels, small TV and terrible signal quality, water leakage at the kitchen's sink (good water pressure), but not enough water pressure to shower. The hotel is totally outdated, and the lack of maintenance is evident.

The pool is falling apart, there is no restaurant or bar as was advertised in the photos. The hotel is pretty much abandonded, the beds were absolutely horrible and were like sleeping on a piece of plywood! The sheets and pillows had stains on them. We asked for a refund immediately after checking in, but we were denied by the owner. Overall terrible hotel, I wouldnt recommend this place to my enemy!

We booked a Junior suite for a weekday. We arrived and there was no one at the property, no one was at the lobby/reception. The security guard was the only person there. Swimming pool had no water, really the place was not as described. We checked out immediately and went to another hotel close by. Expedia did a great job helping me. They call the hotel but obviously no one will answer then the agent helped to arrange the refund and also gave me member rewards to compensate the bad experience. Thank you.
