8/10 Very Good! (855 reviews)

There were no staff manning the reception at night waited over 30. There was a message that read dial 2424 for attention and when dialed u get straight message saying this mail box is full. In the end I left without seeing anyone. Also the flow of our shower was nothing to write home about. Breakfast was great and swimming facilities were great
