Worst experience in the last 25 years. My Tablet was stolen (allegedly by cleaning staff). The room is noisy from the A/C and thin walls.

The staff was really nice friendly and helpful. The pool was great. I wish there would been fruit at breakfast or something that wasnt carb based a bit more variety would be better. The bed was comfy and room was clean. We were treated very well. I will be coming back likely in Aug. It is far from train n bus station though. City buses stop at front door the express ones.
