convenient beachside stay
convenient location maintained pool friendly staff
i found the location very convenient, being right next to the beach. the pool was lovely and well-kept, it had clear water. staff were friendly and available (i especially appreciated the prompt service). i was able to easily access several restaurants nearbywith various dining options.
the furniture in my room looked a bit old. the door had some difficulty in closing properly (it needed a firm push).
Dining
9/10
the breakfast buffet offered a good selection of items, including local dishes and fruits. several local restaurants are located just outside the hotel (making dining out easy and convenient).
Rooms
8/10
my room had a little balcony, nice to relax on. it also included air conditioning and a mini fridge (useful for storing drinks). the bathroom had a big shower with good water pressure.

poor maintenance disturbing noise
the pool was acceptable, and the location DIRECTLY on the beach suited me.
I found the lack of water pressure in the shower a MAJOR problem. It made washing my hair difficult. the air conditioning made a disturbing noise all NIGHT. the hotel generally feels outdated and poorly maintained.

good view evening sunsets
the room offered a good view of the ocean from the balcony. the walk to the beach took only a few steps. i could relax under palm trees on sun loungers right on the beach. nearby cafes offered a spot for evening sunsets.
the check-in process was a bit slow.
