Decent Stay with a Few Hiccups

convenient locationgood pool areafriendly staffloud musicoutdated furnitureinsect issue
the location was really convenient (near everything i wanted to see). the pool area was a good size with many sun loungers. the staff were friendly and helpful, especially when i needed directions.
The noise from the live music was quite loud in my room some evenings. the room felt very basic. The furniture definitely needs updating. i encountered some bugs in my room after my door was open, a bit unsettling.
