Convenient location with amenities such as a microwave, fridge, TV, and aircon. Cleanliness and building maintenance were a little lacking. The pool, tennis court, and restaurant were so deserted that they could have featured in a zombie apocalypse movie. The room was perfect for a 1 night stay though so overall it was okay.

We were a late booking and we were contacted by manager with self check in instructions which included step by step visuals. We actually arrive just before the reception office closed and the manager was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Romm was really nice - good value - very roomy and quiet.
