My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing. Although the reception staff were helpful with my queries, the overall condition of the hotel was poor. The rooms were outdated and not well-maintained, and the pool area was dirty. There seemed to be potential for improvement, but for now, it lacks basic cleanliness and maintenance. Hence, I would not recommend it unless major changes are made.

My stay at this hotel was quite disappointing. While the reception area looked nice, the rest of the hotel did not live up to expectations. The facilities were lacking, with a filthy pool area and no functioning restaurants. The rooms were old and run down, and I really can't recommend it unless they make significant improvements. On the bright side, the staff at the reception were helpful, which was one small consolation.

I was quite disappointed with my stay at this hotel. It was advertised as a resort spa, but it didn't even come close. The room had potential with spaciousness and comfortable bedding, but it was very outdated and in need of serious cleaning. The pool area was dirty and the dining options were minimal and not impressive. For the price I paid, I expected much better and would recommend finding alternatives in the area.

During my stay at the hotel, I found it to be in a disappointing state overall. While the rooms were spacious and clean, they really could use a renovation as they felt quite dated. Additionally, there were maintenance issues that detracted from the experience. The location is fairly central, making it convenient for exploring nearby attractions. Unfortunately, the dining options were limited and could be improved for better variety.

My stay at the hotel was quite the mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and the air conditioning worked effectively, but the bathrooms were unfortunately in very poor condition. Breakfast was basic but acceptable, and while the pool area was nice, it didn't seem well-kept. Overall, considering the state of the facilities and the noise from the nearby club, I can't say it was a great value for money.
