some issues at this location

pool towelsconstant knocking
The staff did not seem interested in making sure i was enjoying my holiday. They weren't helpful. one morning, staff took our pool towels and told us we had to pay to rent them. the cleaner was constantly in and out of the room, knocking at 8 am, 2 pm, and 10 pm. It felt excessive!
