Mixed Feelings About This Resort

seaweed beach old facilities
The beach was a major disappointment. It had seaweed, urchins and rocks. (I really wanted a beach vacation.) The facilities also looked old and worn. The buffet offered little variety. It was the same food daily. The pool discolored my swimsuits and clothes. I suspect a water treatment problem.
