The room I got was clean and fresh. I appreciated that. The pool and bar area looked fantastic to me. Breakfast downstairs each morning was delicious and offered great value. All the staff I encountered were very friendly and helpful (i found this cute).
The air conditioning in my room struggled a little. It didn't quite cool the space to a comfortable level.

mixed feelings about this hotel

refreshing poolloud musicno soundproofing
the pool area provided some relief from the heat.
the noise levels were unacceptable , particularly late into the night. i could hear music from a nearby nightclub until 5 am. the room description did not mention the lack of soundproofing , and the noise significantly impacted sleep quality.
