What we mistook for a hot tub was actually a turbulence pool. It was just slightly warmer than the outdoor swimming pool.

Wouldn’t recommend. Overpriced for the current state of the property. Needs general upkeep and safety maintenance. Bar staff weren’t polite and charged us more than the prices listed on the menu. Pool ladder is rusted and broken, underwater pool light is broken and hanging in water which cut my foot, hottub was not hot, no pool towels. Wifi in room did not work on our devices or on the hotel TV. Drywall and furniture in room needs repair/refinishing. Only positive was the bed was comfortable enough.
