Good hotel for those needing an airport hotel.

The hotel is in a complex of various brands - Ibis, Mercure and another. The pools are beautiful. I liked the adults only pool as well. The rooms were clean - but I couldn’t turn off the overhead fan - which wasn’t too bad as it was hot. But the room door was full of mould. I appreciate with the weather up there it’s very hard to stop this. It reminds me of a Fijian Resort. Right beside the airport - easy to walk - literally on the other side of the car park. But there is a shuttle service also.

Disappointing

I was put into a disabled person room where the aircon wasn't working properly, so we were hot all night and the bathroom vanity light wasn't working either. The room was so bright from the breezeway light being on that I couldn't sleep properly, kept waking up thinking I had slept in. The Mecure pool is in need of some major maintenance, and the new big pool had lots of bugs floating in it, and closed at 7pm. I have stayed at the Mecure many times and generally always been happy with the service
