+: This place is so awful, it actually became comical, especially with references to Fawlty Towers. The guests compared how bad their experience was with each other, like a competition, resulting in much laughter which I'm sure confused the poor waiter. I mentioned to one guest that I actually had hot water one morning for a shower and that I was left with mixed feelings. On the one hand I was pleasantly surprised with the hot water and on the other hand I was disappointed that the hotel hadn't lived up to my expectations. So bad. Industrial scale bad.
-: What didn't we like? Not too keen on the live ant show on the day bedlounge. The kitchenette, that consisted of an electric kettle ("at least you have a kettle", one of our fellow guests told us) sitting atop one of the smallest fridges I've ever seen, no cups, no glasses, spoons etc. The bathroom sink that never drained (was pointed out to a member of staff who just said "that's a problem"). Cold water showers every day except for one. Had a word with the man on the desk at night and he said that the Navy SEALS and SAS don't complain about cold showers and that we should "man up", wasn't sure how to respond to that but I did advise him not to say that to my wife! Couldn't complain about the "TV with satellite channels" because it wasn't there! The coded room keys repeatedly not working even if they were never near a mobile phone. When you unplug an appliance from some wall sockets, the whole plate of the fitting comes out, exposing the wiring. The reception desk rarely staffed. Not a fan of cold fried eggs for breakfast or the blue flash from the toaster. The constant noise from the arriving planes flying over the hotel. The list goes on.....
