Terrible experience

The staff was not friendly at all. The water in the bathroom was very salty, I was not able to take a shower. The breakfast included as described was a mess. A toast and two fried eggs, no juice and not fresh coffee. At nigh in the parking lot people were playing very loud music. Swimming pool dirty

Malgrado avessi avvertito dell' arrivo in tarda serata a causa del ritardo del volo nessuno ci ha fatto il check in all' arrivo e abbiamo dovuto prendere la chiave della camera da soli sopra al banco della reception. La struttura è decadente e per nulla curata. La camera terribile sporca e piena di polvere insetti morti capelli e peli sul materasso e sulle lenzuola tanto da dormire senza disfare il letto. Bagno terrificante sporchissimo. Alattino nonostante avessimo la colazione inclusa siamo scappati via.
