Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Stayed 5 days. Why I wouldn't return - room never serviced despite my request. Had to ask for coffee and milk, no ice maker that I could see, same face cloth and towels for the duration. Dirty bathroom floor, balcony needs a good pressure wash. The good - beautiful pool, good air con, didn't charge for onsite parking (normally $15/day), most staff were friendly.
