The room (king deluxe) was clean but lacked cutlery & eating materials & no microwave. The food (ordered by room service) cost at additional charge & the portions of some food ordered was ridiculous in regard to the cost. But it was tasty. Price of cocktails were reasonable. Price during the wet season is reasonable but very expensive during dry season. It was great the gym was open 24hrs but you could only wash/dry your clothes (in the laundry) from 8am - 8pm & there was an additional charge. If you wanted to have a cigarette after 10pm you had to go out the front as any door to outside was locked & connecting door from underground hotel car park (additional charge - again) to the hotel was locked by 9pm.

The swimming pool at this hotel was closed for renovation. I believe that we should have been made aware of this when booking
