Decent Stay with Some Issues

spacious rooms room upgrade cleanliness single staff non-functional bar broken shower

The resort offers spacious rooms. I received an upgrade to a better room upon arrival (this was thanks to the hotel policy). The room was very clean. The breakfast had a good selection.

The reception had only one staff member on duty, I feel that this is not enough. There was no one available to assist with luggage. The bar and restaurant were not fully functional. The gym and spa lacked attendants. I also noticed a broken shower in my room. There was no shower gel available.
