NO swimming pool and NO notice that the pool was under construction. Having Holy Saturday early morning interrupted by noise from the construction of the pool. Room smelt musty or wet and after a request of this rectification there was no follow up on our accommodation. Smoking on the balconies from others around us was a disgusting smell to walk out to when trying to enjoy the view of the construction Site below.
