loud and pricey, not so great
weak currentunstable water temperature
the shower was awful. the water pressure was weak, and temperature fluctuated constantly. getting clean was like a chore. also, the resort was too noisy. music played until 2 am, and it was hard to sleep, it really was.
The staff was super accommodating. They decorated the room for us since we were on our honeymoon. The room had a lovely vibe. The pool was excellent too.
I don't have any complaints. Nothing was wrong.

The location was excellent if you like active nightlife plus quick access to shops! Restaurants were also on the main road. Ark Bar became the starting point for my evenings out. The hotel rooms were really clean, and everything needed for a comfortable stay was supplied! The pool was great.
