The Swimming Pool was dirty and inusable. For me who travelled with a 1 year old and 4 year old baby, I found that its positioning, less than 3 meters from the door step of the room was extremely dangerous.
This hotel offers bed and breakfast, but the breakfast was awful too.
I decided to check out of the property the day after a night. When i asked the hotel to refund me for unused nights, the hotel declined to refund.
In short, this place is not ideal for a family. Perhaps it can work for adults who dont mind safety, and food. But given the nature of the location, one expects the property to do better!

Rummet är i sig fint, stort och rymligt. Dock funkade endast ACn och kylen halva vistelsen. Hotellet saknade el-generator så vi var utan ström under flera stunder av vistelsen. Poolen misstänker vi läckte och tappade mycket vatten. Vi kände oss endast bekväma med att bada i den tre dagar av vistelsens sju pga vattennivån och sedan färgerna på vattnet när det blev lågt.
Utomhusbelysningen var trasig för vårt rum, men vi kunde ta med en lampa från rummet ut på kvällarna när vi ville sitta ute.
