"They had everything we needed. A clean and nice facility with air conditioning. The pool area is beautiful and the front desk staff were so friendly. The only thing to mention was that we found a few hairs on the pillows and bedding. You also can not adjust the air con, but that wasn’t a problem for us because the setting it was on made the room plenty cool. We enjoyed our stay! "
