This is our usual go to and we have never had any issues until yesterday. The A/C in the room does not work. We had to open the window to get some air. Room was warm and uncomfortable.

The Hotel was easy to find. As long as you had your own transport, you could get around easily. Our room was basic, although a luxury double room with balcony it only had one armchair. Bathroom was clean, shower very good. Pool and Spa were nice. Downside was for dining & Bar, it was a short walk to the restaurant, about 100yds.It got very busy in the evening with locals and very noisy.
