The hotel staff was friendly and professional. The bar staff provided excellent service. The food and drinks available at the bar were also excellent. The lobby was clean and pleasant upon entry.
The air conditioning in my room did not work well. It was also quite noisy and old. The bathroom was very small with not enough room around the sink. I also needed more shelves for my toiletries.

Wonderful Experience Near the Beach
short walkpolite staffbeach towelssmall space
The location was great. It was just a short walk to the beach. Staff were friendly, polite and helpful. The hotel provided beach towels, so that was one less thing to pack.
My room was a bit small. There was limited space around the sink in the bathroom, a little inconvenient.
