I arrived to the property with a Polo Brand Jacket, according to the desk manager they have the video camera as an evidence I arrived with the Jacket. When I packaged to leave the hotel the jacket was no longer in my room. They told me I would receive an email with the explanation but it never came.

I recently stayed at this hotel and would like to share my experience. Pros: • Spacious Rooms: The accommodations are generously sized, providing ample space to relax. • Friendly and Helpful Staff: The team is welcoming and always ready to assist, enhancing the overall experience. • Family-Friendly Amenities: Great facilities for children, including a slide, kids’ room, and various activities to keep them entertained. Cons: • Isolated Location: The property is somewhat remote, requiring guests to travel for meals beyond the single on-site restaurant and lobby bar. • Ongoing Renovations: The hotel is currently undergoing much-needed renovations, which were not mentioned on the website. • Maintenance Issues: There are visible signs of wear, such as broken lounge chairs, water stains (even in the lobby bathroom), and peeling facade, indicating a need for refurbishment. • Cleanliness Concerns: The property’s aged condition affects its cleanliness, despite the staff’s efforts. Suggestions: • Enhance Cleaning Procedures: Investing in equipment like a power washer for the pool area could significantly improve cleanliness and appearance. In summary, while the hotel boasts spacious rooms and excellent staff, it would benefit from improved maintenance and additional dining options to enhance the guest experience.
