decent stay with a few issues

airport transferfriendly staffbreakfast buffetsmall bathroomair conditioningroom wear
I stayed for several nights before heading to another island. The airport transfer service was efficient. It made arrival smooth. The staff were friendly, and always offered help with directions. The breakfast buffet had a reasonable selection.
The air conditioning in my room struggled to maintain a comfortable temperature. The bathroom was quite small and basic. The shower lacked proper containment. i noticed some wear and tear in the room. The balcony was not cleaned properly.
