Okay stay, some issues

clean poolavailable loungerbreakfast selectionunreliable wifioutdated roomold decor
The pool was BIG and clean. There were plenty of loungers available. The beach was conveniently located just across the road. Breakfast was LOVELY too, and the bar offered drinks and snacks all day.
The WIFI was unreliable. The room seemed outdated. The decor could use some updating, especially the bed covers and washrooms.

great locationfriendly staffswimming poolold hotellack of cleanlinessbroken tv
The hotel boasts a location very close to the beach. Staff members were indeed friendly and nice, which I liked. I found the swimming pool to be great for relaxation.
The hotel was a little old, it needs some refurbishment. I noticed a lack of cleanliness in certain areas, a concern. The television in my room did not work, annoying.
