Not for the faint hearted. This is more Motel than Hotel. Only managed to do 2 nights out of 4.
There is no sign outside the building, so we had to ask once we pulled into the grounds, The road is very poor more potholes than tarmac once you've turned off the main road onto Summerset Road.
The large car park was deserted as was the reception area, we had to knock and shout before the receptionist appeared after 5 minutes. we noticed the beer bottles littering the bushes as we made our way to our room, it looked as they had been there a while as there were many.
The first room we stayed in upstairs was a strange affair with one small dark room furnished with a large fridge and a sink with plates that had been used at some point in time turned down on the draining board! The bedroom was large, but the bed linen was covered in a fine white dust, we asked at reception for them to be changed and it was done quite promptly. The biggest disappointment was the bathroom which had broken tiles and discolouration to the bath area we did not feel happy using the bathroom and we asked for a change of room but where told the hotel was fully booked and there was one room that would be available the following evening.
The following evening we moved into a ground floor room adjacent to the pool, the room was much smaller and the bathroom in a better state of repair but there was an odd piece of furniture in the room that looked as though it had been left behind. The dust in that room was unbelievable it coated the wooden louvres on the bathroom door and also sat on the cutouts in the lamp which was on the wall over the bed! Please clean up your act Devine Destiny!!! The worst thing we experienced that 2nd night was the army of sandflies and mosquitoes that spent the night making a meal of us and that was when my partner decided enough was enough and we left the following day.
The hotel was deserted and we were told fully booked! We were informed that many of the rooms are rented out to Spanish workers who live on the premises leaving before sunrise and getting back at night. I witnessed them going out early one morning.
The receptionist asked us why we were leaving so early and we told her the mosquitoes had got the better of us, she said 'we have no control over that' alas it seems as though there is no control over many aspects of the hotel.
Devine Destiny NO my partner preferred to call it Devine Enemy!
Think carefully before booking budget it might not be worth it!
