Accommodation was a bit tired, toilet didn’t flush, found previous guests possessions in one of rooms and pool was closed. Able to use a different pool locally but it was a drive away and had to take towels with us leaving deposit at resort and bring them back again which was a bit of a pain, particularly when we wanted to swim on morning of checkout.
