i booked a room advertised with a sea view. it turned out to be a very limited view. from the balcony, i could only see a sliver of the sea. the bathroom was another issue. it felt outdated with cracked tiles i also noticed moldy silicone around the tub. i found this disappointing for the price i paid.
