fantastic stay near the beach!
direct view nice spread local mall
my room had a direct view of the sea. the hotel sits right across from the seaside and next to the local mall, so things are close. the breakfast had a very nice spread. (i especially liked the fresh fruit!)
the air conditioning leaked all night. it dripped a lot, so i could not sleep. i told the reception, but i only got told that they would inform maintenance. i would have appreciated an apology at least.

The breakfast offered a very wide selection of items. I ordered an omelet, and it was prepared exactly to my liking. The restaurant location is central within the hotel (.. ) it features a great sea view from the veranda.
The swimming pool was closed for maintenance. There was no advance notice about the pool closure on the hotel website. The TV selection was somewhat limited. The check-in process was slow despite the advertised check-in time.
