adequate stay with some shortcomings

unreliable wi-fidated decor
The wi-fi access was a major letdown (especially for a supposed 5-star resort). i could not connect reliably despite having the login details. also, the decor seemed quite dated. It gave the impression it had not been updated in decades.
