Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Great location. Staff were lovely.
Negative: Air con in our room didn't work very well. They ended up moving us. The room was very small. Pillows were uncomfortable and the room had a fair few mosquitos. We asked them to spray it the second night as I got eaten alive the night before. The second night was much better. And the air con was working better. For the price, it was ok if your looking for something cheap.
