Reviews and Ratings
My stay was spoiled by the incredibly loud music from the Amapola open-air disco, which went on until after 3 a.m. for two consecutive weekends. It's difficult to enjoy a peaceful night when the noise surrounds you at all hours. To make things worse, the pizza was subpar and the restaurant service was terrible. I wouldn’t recommend this place, especially if you’re planning to stay over a weekend.
My stay was quite frustrating due to the extremely loud music from the nearby disco, which went on into the early hours of the morning. On top of that, the food at the restaurant left much to be desired, and I felt let down by the overall service. It was disappointing to see wild parrots caged for entertainment, which just isn't right. I can't recommend staying here, especially on weekends.
Unfortunately, my stay was marred by the horrendously loud music from the Amapola open-air disco on Saturday nights, which continued until after 3 a.m. It completely ruined my peace and sleep. On the flip side, the atmosphere around the hotel had its charms, and I enjoyed the presence of wild parrots, although they felt caged. The dining options were disheartening, with poor pizza and below-par service at the restaurant. Overall, not a great experience, especially on the weekends.
I had a terrible experience here, especially on weekends due to the loud music from the nearby disco that went on until after 3 a.m. It completely ruined my ability to relax, and the pizza was disappointing too. The service in the restaurant was frustrating, and I felt like the casino was a rip-off. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place, particularly if you're seeking a peaceful stay.
My experience at the hotel was quite disappointing, especially due to the loud music from the open-air disco on weekends, keeping me up until the early hours. The quality of the food in the restaurant was also lacking, and I found the service very unhelpful. On the plus side, the atmosphere is unique, but the overall value for money just isn't there.
