The side road is effectively a dirt road & in the evening a local club and the rooftop bar guarantees you cannot sleep until after 2 am. Unfortunately I had booked and paid for 8 nights and although I left my reimbursement details I doubt I will get any money back. The safe would not work in the first room and there was no water..."
