Mediocre stay. Wouldn't rush back.

poor servicesubpar breakfast

The air conditioning in the room was barely functional. It was warm even with it running full blast. a painting also detached itself from the wall at one point. the staff mostly seemed disinterested. It seemed like i was bothering them just asking for a drink by the pool. breakfast was nothing special either. The scrambled eggs tasted like they were made from powder.. it was definitely not what i'd expect at a 4-star place.
