mixed feelings about THIS hotel
noisy ac light pollution
The location was good.
The room lacked basic amenities. There was no microwave available and the television offered only free-to-air channels, a MAJOR disappointment. The air conditioning unit was TOO noisy, and the excessive light pollution from various devices in the room made it difficult to sleep.

spacious room comfortable bed few hangers poor coffee
The location is excellent. My room was spacious and clean. It faced the sea. I could see the sunrise from my window. The bathroom was modern, and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast offered fresh products..
The room had limited space for opening two large suitcases. I also found there were too few coat hangers. The coffee was of poor quality. Payment was required for a cappuccino, which surprised me.
