Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Location and very quiet. Manual was a great help.
Negative: Room was very hot. Aircon units would have been great. The place felt like it had been given some paint and that was the upgrade. Was not very well managed at all.
Summary: Our most expensive stop on our holiday and not worth the value
