nice balcony sea view good breakfast early noise faulty air conditioning no water

The location was close to everything. It was a short walk to the sea and local restaurants. my room was a comfortable double or twin room side sea view. It had a nice balcony, and i could see the sea. the breakfast had a good variety and tasted fresh, the pool was a nice size.

The cleaners started early, around 8 a.m., and made a lot of noise. They moved furniture which woke me up. the air conditioning kept switching off during the night, the room became too warm. i found this to be an issue and the staff did not seem to know how to solve it, i would expect water bottles in the room but there were none.
