Hello!
Have just returned from 16 nights at 3 bros. this is probably our 4th stay there. We always stay in a deluxe a/c room.
The staff I always find friendly enough but I would say they are not over enthusiastic.... Most of them know us tho so are usually pleased to see us again.
the pool I would describe as a very oversized kidney pool with a kid section and a swim up bar that does not function. It is always very clean and isn't overly chlorinated so is pleasant to swim in. It has (thank god!) been completely renovated, new tiles inside and caping etc so the old chipped tiles on the edges and the loose missing chipped tiles from the pool are no longer. It is loverly now. There still aren't enough banana lounges (only 8-10) and half of them the back rest does not stay up. They give you free towels for the pool each day. When it is busy it can get rather crowded around the pool area, specially if you want a chair.
The free breakfast is basic but cooked to order.... And consists of 1 egg scrambled fried or boiled 3 pieces do baguette toast, 1 scrawny piece of bacon, 1 sausage and your choice of fruit salad or concentrated OJ. It is nothing fabulousness, but when you eat a bowl of cereal for breakfast at home ach day this is sufficient! I figure I don't need a buffet breakfast at home so I don't need one there!
The accom in the a/c deluxe rooms is nice, it has been renovated, and this style of room is upstairs. You have a small verandah with two chairs and table. Inside large bed queen maybe king not sure. Two chairs cane with white puffy cushions, tv and cabinet that it sits on with small mini bar which is empty. TV has a few international Chanel's and movie Chanel's. bathroom is nice enough with rain water shower and bath tub and toilet. Daily room service, fresh towels and sheets and small cake of soap. I can't speak for any other room type as I always stay in this one.
Overall, it is a grat little place in a good location, staff are nice enough and restaurant food is always nice. Once you check in you don't really see the reception hardly unless you need to go there. And staff keep to themselves, just ask you in the morning " clean your room". When they see you heading to breakfast.
Yes, the women are there, about 3 of them, have been there for many many years, selling stuff and offering massage etc, I usually buy a little something from one of them, her prices are always fair and reasonable and less hassle than out on the street for probably less money!!! And a gentle no thanks for the massage see them move on. No harm, I don't find them annoying, they are just trying to survive. they are not angry or aggressive if they get rejected.
I am not particularly fussy, nor do I have large expectations, so it suits me fine. If you have expectations and like the finer things in life and are fussy and particular then this may not be for you. But having traveled India and Nepal this is like first class LOL!!!!!
Any way any questions feel free to ask, hope this helps someone!!!
