I liked the pool and its convenient access to free beach beds. i found the breakfast to be very tasty and it had a good variety of options. the staff were professional and cute. Flavio at reception provided great assistance. the hotel's cleanliness was also very notable. The cleaning service kept the rooms immaculate.
limited clothes storage space was available, and the bathroom door bumped into the toilet. the hotel could improve the room's layout to enhance comfort.
