Terrible experience for a 4-star hotel
Terrible cleaning, lots of dirt, cockroaches inside the apartment. Indoor pool closed, broken windows, gym closed, 1 outdoor pool closed. Playground dirty, elevador with problems (people got stuck inside a few times). Terrible check in. And 2 hours after check in (started at 4pm to get the apartment “ready”).

Pool water is filthy could not see bottom with cloudy water. No hot water on two occasions Reception staff unaccommodating.
