The swimming pool was warm and wonderful to soak in on the cold days but could do with a refresh of paint as there is blue paint and then medium size concrete coloured patches where the blue paint has come off.
Some hooks in the bathroom of the hotel room would be very handy to hang wet togs and pool towels on to dry.

We enjoyed our stay - one suggestion is perhaps put a blanket or two in the wardrobe for people like myself, who feel the cold while sleeping but do not like to have air conditioning on at night. Also the ruckus on Sunday night with a deranged female have a screaming match should have been dealt with much quicker by security - this went on for about 30 minute of more and was quite upsetting to listen to.
