Not worth it.
22 Mar 2026
Rooms are decent but not in block 2. It faces the alley and it’s noisy late and early. Food is ok but Buffett staff are very rude. Bar staff by the main pool is also rude. They give priority based on skin color. On the beach peddlers are very aggressive. Lots of stray dogs which was fine for us as we love dogs. The weekend was full of locals who were loud, pushy and rude. My beach towel was stolen… Rooms are decent but not in block 2. It faces the alley and it’s noisy late and early.
