良いところ 空港から近い ロケーションはとても静かで自然いっぱい 良くなかったところ 設備の取扱説明書が全くなし。 部屋のクーラーのリモコンに故障と付箋が貼っていて、実際に使用不可だったのになにも事前に説明がないし対応もされていない。 ジャグジーの使い方がどこにも書いていないし、清掃も全くされていない。 野ざらしのままで埃や泥だらけのまま。 冷たい水しか出ないし故障しているのか？ 部屋にある懐かしのファミコンも壊れてて使用不可。 部屋のベッドは粗悪なベッドで最悪。 寝返りを打つたびに、ギシギシ音が鳴り寝れない。 寝室の扉の取手が壊れていて部屋がなかなか開かないし、玄関上がってすぐ左手に寝室があるのですが外開きになっていて出入りが物凄く邪魔でストレス。 ...
