4/10 Fair

Staff exceptionally nice and friendly, but there was a water problem that lasted for 24 hours and communication was so bad about it, there was no running water at the batthroom which made it hard to stay at the room with no shower and no flushing water for toilet. the communication from management was so bad and didnt know how to handle this issue. despite that the condition of the bathroom itself was so bad.

4/10 Fair

A grand old hotel, but well past its prime
The hotel looks, from the outside, like paradise - well built, connected to the environment, beautiful spaces. Unfortunately, this ends when you enter the rooms - clearly left from the 1970s and despite the really immense efforts by the staff to maintain them, they are really, really old. Oxidised metal surfaces, doors not closing, crumbling ceiling panels, rock-hard mattresses, a pervasive smell of damp. Some surfaces obviously are damaged enough and are simply painted over. No hot water throughout the morning (usually only available after 2pm) and the water was (because it's desalinated) horrible to the taste. Also, breakfast was bland, most of the time cold and largely flavourless. BUT, the staff are mostly amazing, friendly and they will do everything they can to make your stay comfortable.
