The location was perfect, very close to airport. There were plenty of bath towels, but there were not enough washcloths or hand towels provided. Other than that, the place was nice.

The property is located near the airport and fairly close to downtown. As a resort I thought the property would be in better shape. Our room looked to have been recently renovated, however, cleanliness was a huge issue. I noticed hair all over the floor around the bathroom, sink, bed, and fridge. I am not a fan of other people’s hair, and my socks proved the point, I had to throw them away. The staff are very friendly and helpful and I did not complain about the room to them, we just spent an hour wiping up and down everything and threw a lot of hair away. We travel quite a lot and stay at many hotels and I will not make another mistake about here, we usually stay at Kompose near the airport. There is also not many restsurants of food joints close by.
