No door showers which make it the floor wet most of the time. You’ll need a mirror in the room and darkest curtains in whole the room. There is too much light all day and night so that could make it a little too hard to rest during the day

Improvement should be considered as the restaurant & bar area need it, adding a QR code for the menu so it’s easy for the guest to know what to order and what is included in the breakfast along with what we have to pay. I asked for another breakfast options and the waitress keeps denying my request because he said I have to pay for it. I don’t mind paying, but it will be helpful if they provide the guest with a menu. Overall,I have a good experience.

There is no hot water. They just don't believe in it. This would probably be something to disclose on their listing. I asked the front desk and both employees just shrugged it off. One of them said no one asks for hot water. Not according to the reviews, which I should've read before I booked. Lesson learned. Also, if you plan on driving here, the drive way from the main road into the hotel is not paved just gravel and rocks, so be careful. The room is basic as it gets. I guess the pool and view is decent. That's about it.
