“Dirty bathroom, AC not working, old unrenovated property, misleading photos—not worth the money. Don”
Very bad experience. The bathroom was dirty, the AC was not working, and the property has not been renovated since it was first built. The photos are misleading—they look like they were taken years ago when the place was new. Don’t be fooled by the pictures.

Please avoid this at all costs. Unclean rooms, very expensive tasteless food. Staff is trying their best, but the facilities are not maintained at all.

“Friendly staff . They could not do much as it is an old & poorly managed property.”
Probably the oldest Holiday Resort. It seems that they have not upgraded the facilities The rooms are not cleaned few insects found in the room. Bathroos are pretty basic.
