Beware some rooms are terrible!
If you do stay make sure you ask for room away from the pool area, closer to the reception end.
I was put in downstairs room attached to the laundryroom, the dryer was on all night and backed my wall, together with 4 airconditioning units. I was buzzing with electricty after 2 nights in that room.
Moved to a standard room back towards the pool area,the bed was like a soft sponge and not great for the back.
The restaurant is gross, the juice mixer was never washed the whole time I was there and at one stage I was eye-balled by a big rat. The staff are really young, play loud music and the rooms near the bar/swimming pool area are full of rowdy people that like noise too.
If you are wanting a cheap hotel well that's all you get, also the safety deposit box consists of a couple of rusty school lockers that aren't secure at all. My words are don't go cheap find something else, these are plenty of better quality for similiar price.
Good Luck!
