average stay, some issues

nicely decorated roombroken tv remoteshower temperature

the room was decorated nicely and seemed clean enough.

The tv remote didn't work. I had to get up to change the channels, which seemed like going back to the stone age. also, the shower temperature fluctuated wildly, going from lukewarm to scalding hot without warning. It was quite annoying and a bit dangerous. the breakfast buffet seemed a bit sparse and uninspired, the pastries seemed stale

The hotel has a perfect position near the beach. Staff members were cute and looked after me well. The breakfast choices were really good.

The dinner menu seemed restricted. Some parts of the room needed better cleaning. Wear and tear was starting to appear on some surfaces.
