The sewage smell near the pool was really bad. It made it hard to relax. the staff didn't seem to care much about fixing it. also, the airport shuttle was overpriced. i ended up paying way more than i should have for a short ride. the breakfast wasn't that great either. I found limited options and the food didn't taste fresh. it wasn't the experience i hoped for.
