Stayed with husband and 2 kids. The swimming pool is massive and in a garden area around the rooms we were staying in on the ground floor. It iwas so good to just walk out and into it. The girl in office, Claudette, I think - had been there for 15 years and helped us with everything, the right tours... more

Stayed here for a total of 3 nights and that was definitely more than enough. We were ready to leave after the 1st night! The first room we stayed in had grubby floors, dirty washroom, and questionable dishes. There was a large trail of ants in the kitchen area that led up the wall next to the washroom to a... more

The hotel website states newly renovated. Either our eoom hadn't been done yet or they need to look up the word renovation in the dictionary. Our room was filthy. For a 3 star quality hotel room, we were both totally disgusted. Room and bathroom hadn't been swept or cleaned, patio door to poolside didn't lock. Bed uncomfortable and mattress stained.... more

We stayed for three nights in September. We were looking for a budget price, and the website impressed us. The hotel looked attractive. The reality did not live up to the image. The rooms were shabby. The hotel is an fact a motel and cars are parked in a covered driveway directly outside the doors of the ground floor rooms.... more

We had only booked one night in the standard rooms (maybe the others were better) and would not have stayed another. It was very basic, clean enough but the room smelt musty and the sliding door to the balcony was not at all secure. The bathroom door came off its track as did the curtain. Outside on the balcony there... more

My sister always says "Beware the hotel that only shows a picture of the swimming pool in the travel brochure!" I should have taken her advice. My husband and my daughter stayed here for 5 long nights and from reading the recent reviews on this website, I can obviously see that the Rainbow Inn has not cleaned up its' act... more
