This property is an absolute scam. We weren't provided with anything that we were promised. On top of that, the staff at the hotel is obscenely inhospitable, and the conditions of the hotel are exceptionally unhygienic. Although we did manage to get a refund for our trip - I wouldn't recommend this property to anyone at all.
