If you are going to close the pool from 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM on Mondays & Wednesdays for private swimming lesson through V V Aquatics, then let Expedia know and post it on your website. We picked this location due to the pool / water slide and my young son was heartbroken when we were not allowed to use the pool during our stay (he's 8yrs old so bedtime is early) while the private lessons were going on. No notice at the front desk - nothing to advise paying guests. Total sham!

It was great, except for the fact that my phone had no dial tone so i couldnt call front desk to complain about the boys running up and down the hall. They were playing ding dong ditch and were extremely loud. They locked one of their friends out and he kept banging on their door, it was a scary sound to wake up to after 12am.

The hotel was okay and you get what you paid for however the swimming pool looks cloudy and a bit dirty, to be fair it was warm to swim in. I found under the bed a sticky trap for the bugs which was disgusting. The staffs are pleasant and attentive.
