"The property is ok but for what looks like a luxury hotel to charge extra for two people in one room is not good business. I can understand smaller hotels that get less revenue to charge this but this place portrays itself as luxurious. In reality there were many flies in the dining area, I believe there were mosquitos in the room and bed as I was itchy all night and the pool and amenities were average at best. There are better places in Masaki to stay in my opinion. "
