Acceptable Stay with a Few Drawbacks

spacious roompool viewconvenient locationunfriendly receptionisthard towelsnight noise

The room was spacious. I had a nice view of the large pool from the balcony. The hotel location is convenient. It's close to a supermarket.

The receptionist was not friendly during check-in. I found the towels provided were hard. There was noise outside the room at night.

large apartmentpool viewsdaily cleaningbedroom tv

i've stayed in a very large one-bedroom apartment with pool views. it had a television in both the bedroom and the sitting room, very convenient. the room was quiet at night which helped for good sleep. cleaners came every day, keeping everything super tidy.

the bar's limited hours meant i had to find drinks elsewhere after 11 pm.
