The pictures online do not show the overall shabby condition of the property. The property has not been updated in a long time and it shows. Window latches broken, poor quality curtains that do not block out the bright outside lights at night. The ceiling paint in the bathroom was pealing and the net curtains ere dirty. Paint splashes on the doorknob and a broken curtain tie in the corner on the floor. All round just not the quality type of property I would ever stay in. And the photos are a little misleading. The pool is nice, but that is about it.

For one or two nights ok. Our room was not really clean and kind of old. Bathroom smells moldy. Hairs in the shower from other guests, also hairs in the fridge. We waited for our breakfast 45 min. Breakfast is ok you have a choose of three kinds. Eggs, bacon and toast, yoghurt and fruits or croissants and muffin. It was not really someone on the property to approach. Overall ok but no 3 stars worth
