adequate stay
beach side restaurant spa pool poor breakfast empty spaces
the location is good. the beach side restaurant was enjoyable. i found the indoor spa pool nice too.
The breakfast was very poor. food and plates were not replenished. the staff was slow to bring drinks etc. i found the breakfast finish time of 10am too early for a holiday destination. the rooms lack character. There are many empty spaces that feel abandoned.

The room included comfortable beds and spacious layout, offering ample space for luggage and movement. A small desk provided a workspace, and the balcony included seating with a view (I enjoyed my morning coffee there). There was a mini-fridge available.
