Aja hotel

This hotel has great amenities for family vacation, the restaurant and bar atmosphere are great, but the small rooms are the problem, nobody likes tinny rooms, no AC just heating, no safe, no place for the bags, no amenities kit for the bathroom. Another problem is the front desk team, many of them barely speak English and sometimes have to work as receptionist and sales person for the Nivea store adjacent, this is simply does not work and makes a mess during check in time. One last major problem, you can hear the water for other showers running through the pipes, room 355.
It is sad to see so much money invested in the huge hotel and loose clients for lack of comfort on the rooms.

The main reason I docked stars is the exhibitionist shower.

Pros: Beautiful common areas, polite staff, *great* breakfast buffet, a bar, well-designed room doors that block enough sound, good window views, a little sitting area in the rooms, walkable location convenient to groceries and shopping. And at least the toilet is behind a door, but there's no fan; you can hear everything.

Cons: No room safe, too warm inside, no way to heat water for tea or make coffee after breakfast hours, no real drawers to store your things, awful shower. There are open cubbies by the door, if you want any passers-by or visitors to see your underclothing, but no drawers, so my friend and I ended up keeping our suitcases out so we could access things that didn't get hung in the closet. So much for that sitting area. The worst thing is the shower, which is in an open area adjacent to the sink, with CLEAR glass. This is a deranged or callously cheap choice. I am not shy; I will do a naked spa, but I draw the line at cleaning my undercarriage while on display. I wouldn't even like this if sharing with a spouse. You can't see it from the bed area, but you can't miss it if you walk to/from the door, so while you're showering your friend is trapped inside or outside, and they definitely can't have visitors. I thought this was a regional thing, but the other hotels I experienced on my vacation all had real bathrooms with doors.

Honestly expected more from the photos and descriptions of hotel. Rooms were nice but nothing amazing. Suana and wellness area is good but often very busy. Great location to walk to town. Staff seemed always busy and overwhelmed.
