I stayed in the Lakeside Villa. Filled up one of the bathtubs, could clearly see soap scum floating on the surface. The other bathtub was clean. The TV in one of the bedrooms had faulty speakers and could only broadcast static. One of the bedrooms was really noisy at night, couldn't identify the sound, but we had to all bunk into a single bedroom because of that. However, the hotel staff was exceptional. We were offered a change or rooms, but we were only there for 2 nights and were exhausted, so we opted to remain. So we were given breakfast for the 2 days that we were there. The view was lovely, and the rest of the amenities within the room was good. The place was very spacious, and other than the bathtub, everything else was clean.
