Negative Reviews
negative:
Urgent upgrades needed
Although the surroundings are absolutely beautiful, guests were disappointed with the condition of the buildings. A good coat of paint is urgently needed, along with replacements of almost all the fixtures and fittings. Visitors suggested that with a little TLC, this resort should be back on its feet.
negative:
The food's not the best
Guests who had to pre-order their breakfast the day before for a specific time, were frustrated to get their meal way after the agreed upon time. Visitors had to alter their vacation plans for the day, and were not pleased to say the least.
negative:
Cleanliness is an issue
Reports of dirty carpets, dusty curtains, and all-round unkept rooms were received from several guests. Many of them decided to do a little cleaning of their rooms themselves before settling in and enjoying the vacation.
