clean place friendly staff convenient location tired pool processed meat loud noise
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.

Comfortable stay near the beach
comfortable bed quality ingredient helpful staff
The hotel room included a comfortable bed. Breakfast had high quality ingredients and many options. Mike at reception was very helpful, and all staff members were friendly. The pool and jacuzzi provided space to relax after long walks. I enjoyed these amenities.
I noticed the cups in the bathroom were cleaned with the dirty sponge. I was not happy about it.
