However, a few areas for improvement have been noted by guests. Some rooms exhibit signs of wear and tear, with furniture needing attention and occasional musty odors impacting the experience. Maintenance issues such as dusty surfaces, dim lighting, and difficulties with the door locks have been mentioned. Cleanliness concerns appear sporadically, with some reviewers pointing out issues with bed linens and mattresses. While the rooms tend to offer a comfortable experience overall, certain areas, including the lower resort sections, could benefit from upgrades, particularly regarding beds, wardrobes, and toilets.
