great breakfastpool view roomlow standard

the breakfast was great, and there was lots of choice.

At check-in, they gave us a pool view room. I paid for a sea view room though. their explanation was ridiculous, they said that besides the 2 front rooms, all the rooms have 'side sea view'!!!! the manager's attitude was far below tourism quality standards.
