Let's be clear, this is not a five star hotel. The rooms are fine, although I don't like the odd solution with separated toilet and shower room with the sink being in the bedroom. Gym is small with just a few machines and some free weights. No towels. The pool area is nice, but the pool itself is way too small and shallow (only one meter deep). What disturbed me the most is that two arab men walked around in their underwear and also went swimming. Very unhygienic and disgusting behaviour. Most hotels have strict rules about wearing proper swimwear, but Blackwoods does not seem to care. I told the staff at the pool bar, but they ignored me.
Breakfast is of very low quality, except for the thai food. Bright-coloured "juices", cheap "butter" and bread and so on. Well, the price was alright, so I guess some people will like this hotel.
