The service was inconsistent, unfortunately. at breakfast, several guests complained about widespread sickness among a tour group, a concern echoed by my colleague and me. we both fell ill, unlike my previous five visits to the area. also, the pool area wasn't maintained well. I noticed a considerable amount of bird droppings around it.
