decent hotel, some issues

tv flicker poolside management
The tv in my room had a persistent flicker. Reception acknowledged it but didn't resolve it . (i found that pretty frustrating). also, the poolside loungers situation was a mess. towels reserved many chairs all day, but no one actually used them. it felt poorly managed.
