lemon availability laundry service leaky kettle beach area

my room was simple, it had a patio overlooking the pool area.. cozy! the staff noticed i liked lemon water. they made sure i had lemons available each morning. laundry service was helpful too, that's something i didn't expect at all!

the fridge in my room looked a bit yellow. the kettle leaked a lot, honestly it was annoying. the beach area right in front of the place isn't the nicest..

Excellent Beachfront Stay

varied breakfast private balcony convenient bar

The family owners were cute. They helped. The poolside bar was convenient, and I enjoyed the cocktails. Breakfast offered fresh and varied options daily. We had rooms with private balconies overlooking the pool.

The Wi-Fi signal in the room was sometimes weak.

the location was great, directly on the beach. the rooms are spacious (i had a king suite sea view) with a walk-in shower, fridge, and a free safety box. the pool has steps at one end. a poolside bar serves cocktails and snacks.

the decoration in the room felt a bit dated.
