I was quite disappointed with the pool area. It was overcrowded and noisy, more like a children's playground than a relaxing space. the service at the pool was slow. i found it difficult to relax. the hotel location is also somewhat isolated. I needed a taxi for almost everything. it felt inconvenient.

Average Stay, SOME Disappointing Aspects

extensive selectionconnecting roomslack of attention
the breakfast buffet offered many options , which was acceptable.
I requested connecting rooms well in advance, BUT upon arrival, I discovered our rooms weren't even on the same floor. This oversight showed a lack of attention to detail. It was annoying to not have our request fulfilled despite planning.
