The location is close to the beach. There is about 30 minutes walk to the town. The place is clean and the staff are lovely. I would give a special thank you to the young barman. He was very friendly and took an interest in my day as a solo traveller.
I found some of the meat seemed processed. The pool area is tired and needs an upgrade. The hotel in general requires upgrading. I also experienced some noise from a birthday party at the hotel.
