Unfortunately the jacuzzi/tub we didnât use. When we turned it on lots of black flies came out of the hoses. We contacted the reception and they sent someone out to clean it which took several hours, We tried again but still lots of timescale was coming out which seemed very unhygienic - so it was not used which is a disappointment as it was one of the main reasons going to the lodge. It needs a full strip down and clean.
