Location was great. Rest of it very disappointed, we stayed 2 nights we brought our own food a lot of it went in the bin because the fridge wasn’t cold the washing machine washed our clothes but wouldn’t dry them so had to leave with damp clothing, it was not clean the fridge stunk, dish washer was just confusing and didn’t clean the dish’s properly, it was also so hot I didn’t get much sleep there because of the heat had to keep windows open and was very noisy outside u could here the aircon but doesn’t work well. don’t think we will be coming back.
