Really nice resort on the water, but old and needs to be renovated. The air-conditioning wasn’t working very well in my room and it wasn’t cool enough. They came to check it but it didn’t do any good. I think the air-conditioning was just being repaired because there were people out in the hall working on it for two days banging and making a lot of noise. This is the second time I’ve stayed here, I would stay again. I think the air conditioning problem was something they will work out.

Not very helpful in terms of language barrier. No real effort to accomadate. Room was super out dated. Locals friendly just not tourists friendly. Pool was too dirty to use. Wasn't cheap either probably the most expensive for stay at all the properties we chose on this trip.
