"Lovely setting looking over the pool and palms. The room is dated and needs some sprucing up. The curtains were disgustingly dirty and had pin holes all through them. Otherwise comfortable. Great for families with all the kids facilities but noisy when kids run up the hall shouting at 6.00 in the morning."
