Big Apple is Bad news Dirty,Mosquitoes eat you alive No WiFi they will lie about the WiFi NO FOOD, I mean no food at all. Totally rundown, no glass in the window to my room. Toilet does not work, no water in the face basin Dangerously exposed electrical cables Broken smoke alarm No shower head on shower Lots of mess in the pool They promised free shuttle to the airport but the driver will still charge you $3000 when dropped off although the fair is $2000 on chartered taxi and $150 on route taxis. You won’t see professionally looking staff just two men smoking mariwana. SOMEONE TRIED TO ENTER MY ROOM AT 2AM THANKFULLY MY DOOR WAS LOCKED. I didn’t sleep after that The decision is your but you’ve been warned.

This has been my worse experience ever and I have been traveling for at least 30 years all over the world. The hotel was dirty. We never received clean linen. The furniture was broken. The bathroom leaked and had broken tiles. There was no dining services, not even coffee. There was a party under our room for 8 hrs. It didnt stop until 4am, after police intervention. There was nothing to recommend it except for the exceptional view and central location.

There were so many problems, its difficult to know where to start. The entire property was filthy. Our rooms were never cleaned. We never recieved clean linen in the 6 days of our stay. I received two towels (stained) on day 1 and no other. Garbage was never removed. There are NO dining facilities. Not even coffee, tea or water. Pool was not clean. Bathroom had a leak on the floor that was never attended to. No one could answer any questions. Sunday apparently was party night. Loud Music until 4am. It was eventually turned off by the police. I did not sleep fot 5 days. I would never visit again.

The owner of this property should be ashamed. This place is outdated, dirty and has a damp and haunted atmosphere. I feel it mostly for the employees, they can only do with what they are given.

For someone traveling on my own, it was a great place to stay that was affordable while being very close in between downtown and the sangster airport. It would be a better rating if the loud music was turned off. Only reason Im saying this is if a family with children would ever arrive. Other than that good place.
