Positives: on arrival we were given an upgrade. Undoubtedly the room was lovely, large too, gorgeously decorated. The whole property is lovely and clean and has been maintained well. Negatives: although we were given an upgrade which we were grateful for, the room was so noisy. That in part was due to other very inconsiderate guests, talking, singing, shouting at all hours in hallways, in rooms and with their doors open, oblivious to the fact there are other guests who don’t want to hear their voice constantly! However the rooms are absolutely not soundproofed as listed, the property given the design is very echoey. There was also a puppet show next to the pool where the guy uses a hand drum. It goes on for hours from early evening to about 10pm and no one was watching. Unfortunately my partner was very poorly and was trying to sleep, we were in our room from very early on 2 nights and I thought I was going insane from the noise from the drummer, other guests and also the fact our room was ground floor and pool facing, guests kept sitting outside our room windows having drinks (no fault of theirs, but a design flaw and just meant we had an irritating and non restful stay). As mentioned my partner was very poorly, so much so I asked the hotel to call a doctor at around midnight. I believe it was the night ***ager who attended to us, and tried to help, but there was no doctor available to come. We asked for directions to a pharmacy the next morning (very early) and were told generally where a pharmacy could be found (a taxi journey away). I did feel the hotel could have done a bit more to help here, even more specific directions as we trailed around a lot of closed pharmacies and ended up going to a hospital pharmacy to get urgent medication. Aside from night ***ager and restaurant staff, the staff at the hotel were pretty disinterested in helping guests or even acknowledging them when guest asked a question from our experience.
