Cockroach infestation

full grown cockroach crawled over our face whilst we were asleep

Third night was the worst - a full grown cockroach crawled over our face whilst we were asleep. Managed to take a picture and complain to the hotel manager. Staying in a supposedly 5 star hotel, we expected alot more and the cockroach incident is just absolutely unacceptable.

rooms were dated

This property is by no means a 5star hotel. It is very old, dirty and generally horrible. The bathroom & blinders at the room were dirty &disgusting. The walls were scratched, the carpets at the reception and in the room very dirty

The rooms require renovation, or at the very least, the hotel should not be classified as five stars in its current state. The carpets are coming loose.

check in takes too long

Check in was set for 2:00 pm, showed up at 3:00 pm and our room wasn't ready. Sat waiting in the lobby for about 40 minutes before a room was ready.

Property is dated. Pool area is too small, could never get a lounge - only holds 20 people.
