unmanaged poolcredit inconvenience
The adult pool was not managed properly, i observed parents disregarding the rules. also, the hotel insisted on a credit system for bar drinks. I found this inconvenient. a refund for unused credit supposedly takes 30 days it is an unreasonable policy for a hotel of this supposed caliber. i found the lack of enforcement of pool rules and the cumbersome credit system quite irritating. It detracted from an otherwise adequate stay.
