Very noisy on the street. Aircon is so noisy you have to turn it off. The restaurant was not open so you had to sit by the pool where some local DJ played loud music that was not to my liking. It was windy and cold. I believe the kitchen burnt down a while ago but noone informed me on booking. Left early...
