Ruwa

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I didn’t like the bed it was so uncomfortable and the bathroom was old and the shower water was not good because it was giving cold and hot water at the same time. One of the rooms we had was only for two people when we we had booked for 3 so it was without bed for kids. We was told that the room had sea view but it was not quite enough. The sea was far away and the view was not clear like in the picture.
