Staff were lovely. We had a family room and it done the trick. Old place and relatively clean. Pool was nice not deep but long enough to do some laps and the spa was so hot so takes a little bit to get into. You also have to book the spa so if you want to use it remember that. But yes old place ans needs aircon but it did have a fan. Although no good really as no locks on windows but also so much flies and insects so catch 22.
