I've stayed here before & liked it. This time a little disappointing. It's summer, but on arrival we found the pool was closed. There were dead, squashed mosquitos in the bathroom basin. But our main complaint is after we'd been there for a day, we realised the fridge temperature was up too high, the ice had melted & food in it was not safe to eat. Pros: the buffet breakfast was great, and reception was helpful.
