The sea and pool view is wonderful. The housekeeping is no good. You have to check any items missing or not to the qty. Of provided. I found bath room towels missing. I was alocated to a standard king i stead of a deluxe king room. It had been fixed after complaint or reported.
The room interior certainly deserves more attention. The bath no longer drains well and many of the room fixtures need updating. The bed, pillows and undersized doona have all seen better days. Daily room service is also often neglected and outsourcing it is not a solution. On the other hand, the exterior of the hotel including facilities are being refurbished and it is good to see routine maintenance being done around the hotel. Hopefully this will extend to the rooms soon.
