2/5 Poor

Travelled with partner
There was no cleaning and bed-making service. Even though it is a time share, no place and I emphasize no place on any of your brochures nor paperwork of any description state that it is a time share. If it did, we certainly would not have stayed there. The stopper in the bathroom basin did neither stop the water nor hold it in the basin for shaving. A poor experience. Never to be repeated.
