basic amenities, needs improvement

breakfast buffetpoor air conditioninghard bed
the breakfast buffet had a good selection of items.
The air conditioning did not work well, the room took hours to cool down. the bed was also hard. This made it difficult to sleep. the shower water temperature fluctuated, this was quite unpleasant.

great experience!

spacious roomfree minibarair conditioningrefreshing pool
i stayed for a few nights and my room was quite spacious. it had nice air conditioning controls (a relief in the summer heat!). the minibar was stocked with free soft drinks, a very welcome touch. the pool access was also a great bonus, nice for a refreshing dip after a day of sightseeing.
i did notice that the gym required a small fee for use, a bit unexpected.
