acceptable foodsmall water bottledispenser water
The food was acceptable. I found something to eat, even after several days.
The water situation was ridiculous. I only got one small bottle of water per person in the room. Additional bottles cost extra, this policy was a big annoyance. The bar only had dispenser water. It felt cheap.

the resort gardens were green and well maintained. they watered them every day, acceptable.
i was really disappointed by several issues. the pools were not cleaned often enough and the water was cloudy. also, there was only one toilet available near the pool for the entire hotel. this felt really inconvenient.
