Good weekend vacay.

7.0

Room is clean and comfortable, though the lighting is slightly dim. Quite a distance to walk from lobby to room especially if you children or elderly parents.

Some areas to improve: Lobby a bit warm while having to wait for your turn to check-in/out. Suggest to put standing fan or welcome drinks for the guests to cool off. The resort should consider investing on wheelchairs & strollers for guests in case of unforeseen circumstances.
