Minor cleanliness issues
There have been some reports from guests about the level of cleanliness in the rooms at Rick's Causeway Coastal. The shower tends to distribute water all over the place causing dampness and a musty smell, while the bathroom ends up with algae in some areas.
negative:
No Wi-Fi in rooms
You will be able to connect to the Wi-Fi in public areas, however some visitors would have liked to relax in the rooms and communicate with family and friends. Regardless; visitors say you can spend some time in the lobby area relatively undisturbed as the signal is quite good.
negative:
Shower not up to scratch
Quite a few travellers have complained about having a cold shower in the mornings. It seems as if the hot water runs out relatively quickly, so try to get your shower in really early, or wait for later when the water has warmed up again.
