same fruitpeeling paintlack of storage
the breakfast was okay, i guess. it was very much the SAME every day.
The rooms. oh boy, they were disappointing. the lack of STORAGE for clothes was a joke. Five hangers and two drawers for almost a week? REALLY? plus, the peeling paint on the balcony wasn't exactly a five-star welcome. it felt more like a tired three-star trying too hard.

the lack of clear information regarding transfer arrangements was frustrating i asked for transfers to the hotel but the pay link did not work this left me stranded at the airport with my children i also found that the beds are excessively firm sleeping on them reminded me of sleeping on concrete with minimal padding the water pressure in the shower was also inadequate making it difficult to shower properly
