Acceptable Stay, Some Issues

smooth check-indirty beachinfrequent cleaning
The room was spacious and had a beautiful view. The check-in process was smooth. I enjoyed a welcome drink.
The beach was not clean. It did not seem to be cleaned as often as other hotels nearby. This detracted from the experience. More attention to cleanliness would be appreciated.
