2/5 Poor

Travelled with partner
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place has potential but is very tired looking. Walls betwen rooms are thin. Noisy kids next door woke us up early. There should be an adults only section of the hotel and no kids in the bar. The pool was not much bigger than some domestic pools and was too small for the number of guests.
