Great location. Expected more from a ‘resort’, rooms dated, need a tidy up. Uncomfortable couch and sparsely furnished, cabinet door would not shut. We had a view of a rusty door and a shade cloth area. Balcony small and a slight view of the marina if you stood in the one spot and looked sideways. Noise from other guests at all hours. Television in the room is quite old. Had to take the batteries out of the remote and shuffle them to get it to work. Pool area is nice. We ate there the first night… food was not great, didn’t eat there again. Turned a/c off in our room as it was freezing, however cold air still came through. Cleaning staff were fantastic. All in all a Bit disappointing and probably won’t stay there again.
