Excellent Stay with Friendly Service

sea viewvegetarian optionslow quality

We booked a sea view room, a lovely experience because I could watch dolphins from the window. The room was spacious and super clean. I also appreciated the tasty breakfasts with vegetarian options available.

The room was not cleaned . The food quality was very low, reminiscent of a roadside diner. I was shocked.
