3 stars? 2 stars too many!
First off, I am never one to post a bad review on any website but this needs to be said so other people are aware! I had read some bad (and good) reviews before I checked in with my boyfriend and honestly we didn’t know what to expect. The lady at the check in desk couldn’t be more helpful and offered us a villa.
Our room was not what we expected at all! Our first night wasn’t too bad (apart from the dodgy lock on the door and the narrow and steep stairs). Our second night here was a different story, my partner found HUNDREDS of bugs and ants crawling up the walls and on the floor. Immediately, we went to reception to change rooms (after a rude few minutes at reception) and managed to get a different villa.
The second villa wasn’t as bad but we couldn’t shake the feeling of dirt, dust and bugs! To make matters worse, we had both started to appear covered in bites (these I still have and I am only home 1 day).
I completely understand that this ‘3 star’ hotel is cheap, cheerful and you get what you pay for. However, there appears to be no standard of cleanliness whatsoever! I am well aware it’s not 5 star, but I had to constantly ask for clean towels, toilet paper and check for bugs!
It wasn’t all doom and gloom though as there were some positives. The pool area is lovely, spacious and fairly modern (considering!). The location of the hotel is great in the centre of the strip and accessible to pubs, clubs and shops.
To sum it all up, yes, it is very cheap and cheerful but I would honestly prefer to pay more and receive a higher standard. The bug bites are a constant reminder of that!
