the hotel is close to the sea. i could easily walk to the beach. the room was clean and i found the staff helpful (especially with directions). i appreciated the tea and coffee facilities in the room.
The walls seemed thin. I could hear noises from other rooms. the breakfast buffet was crowded (it was hard to find a table). the dinner menu was limited and some items were unavailable.
