A piscina é o jacuzzi

Área junto ao bar muito nojenta. A contrastar com uma piscina maravilhosa. Nem uma máquina de água filtrada que existe em histeria onde se pagam valores bem mais baixos por noite. Acredito que é um sinal de descuido com o cliente. As camas não têm cortinas. Sendo quarto misto. Sendo um lugar que pede um valor acima da média, seria interessante criarem algum conforto ao cliente.

Ubicacion

Utilizan el mismo edredón siempre, esta manchado, nos encontramos cabello de otras personas en la cama, pegaron 2 camas individuales con un único edredón, en la noche nos caímos de la cama xq pensabas que era 1 matrimonial, nos metieron en una tienda de acampar horrible deprimente, no habua ni una silla donde sentarse, no había cocina ni nada ni para hacer un café pero es de backpackers, me cobraron el cambio del dolar a 500 donde la aplicación me marcan un monto menos me cobraron como 5 dolares más, no se puede tomar bebidas alcohólicas durante la noche, hay que pagar el consumo ahí el cual es carisimo pero en el día uno si puede meter bebidas, la refri esta super sucia deberían limpiarla, la tienda de acampar a es horrible deprimente y en los cilindros la gente no tienen donde poner las maletas, es incomodo y feo dormir en una alcantarilla, abuso a extranjero con los precios, reglas ridículas y tras de eso cobran por una estadía de 19 horas un rate de 24 h

"Excesivamente costoso."

Piscina y jacuzzi

Excesivamente costoso considerando que no arreglan la habitación. No dan desayuno. Hay que pagar adicional el parqueadero. El televisor no funcionó. La primera noche nos tocó dormir con el TV encendido.

"Sweet Oasis Retreat"

10.0

Loved the pool and culvert pod room. Great location and large common areas. I was able to store my luggage before and after my stay.

The staff did not show me any of the common area, where to store food or share wifi info upon check in.
