When we got to the resort, we didn’t get the room we booked for. So they told us they were upgrading us to a room that was on the floor Level, which we specifically chose not to get with the last room, due to security issues. The electricity in the room along the wall behind the bed didn’t work so no lamps for the beside table., the toilet had a constant running noise and we couldn’t turn the water off to stop it, so we heard it all through the night. And it had an old smell to it. Like the room hadn’t been used in a while or it had been shut up for a long time and had an old person smell to it.

Paid for Lagoon view but was very limited to view. Room was so far from facilities and phone in room was not working. Had to use mobile to ring resort to get someone to answer. A/c noisy and when turned off refrigerator was noisy.
Find the lagoon
None of single itemised buttons worked and reception did not answer
