The reason why we found ourselves at this hotel |
It was fine.... It is huge. There was no real choice for where to go for dinner other than at the 'International Buffet', which, of course is a cattle call. We all know that tourists from other countries are inherently like ourselves - curious and have money to spend on this kind of adventure, but we still do not necessarily understand their ways and their manners, so it can make us a little cross.... Dinning in such a manner is not really conducive to good digestion....
After the tour buses had left in the morning - but look at the size of the place, it goes on forever |
The room - #260 - was a haul away, up several flights and no elevators... the poor bell men! It was certainly large, though no balcony. Thank goodness, though, our windows did not look out to an interior courtyard. We had had a long day, so we really just went to bed, but had we wanted to open the curtains, it would have been fine.
The internet did not work - though the hotel claimed to give it to us for free - but imagine our surprise when the buses of tourists pulled out early in the morning the internet worked.
The Colassae Hotel does have a spa, though we did not use it. We tried to make reservations ahead of time via email, but they were never very responsive. Our friend also indicated that we might be happier at the spa at some other hotels... We were glad to have dodged that bullet.
I did have an opportunity to soak in some mineral pools behind the main pool. I was by myself and the tiny pools looked like they could have used some attention, so it didn't feel really luxurious.... Which is a shame given what they have. One would think the hotel ownership could really profit from the location and the mineral springs.
I guess I was not impressed by their pool, as I did not take any photographs of it.
They did offer a belly-dancing show at the pool bar... The idea of belly dancing is always fun, if you can manage to see around your fellow guests who are angling to get a photo and don't mind elbowing you in the process.... It's kinda weird when you focus all your attention on someone's body between their boobs and their crotch... But, man, those artists can move their bodies in ways one can't even contemplate - as illustrated by the volunteers who try to do it with the dancers.
