heavenly holiday

comfy beds luggage storage late flight
location was amazing directly on the beach and near to all restaurant. the beds were comfy in my nice room. they offer luggage storage and a courtesy room is available to take a shower after check-out, i liked this a lot because i had a late at night flight home.
the staff at reception were unfriendly. they have a system where they give you a card relating to your room number when you return a pool towel. i lost a couple of the towel cards, the wind blew them away, i feel bad.

underwhelming stay, some issues

outdated room rubbery eggs
the hotel's proximity to the beach was acceptable.
The room felt outdated. the showerhead sprayed water everywhere, except where it should have (.. ). also, the breakfast buffet was consistently lukewarm. The eggs tasted rubbery.
