I appreciated the breakfast. It was excellent with a huge selection of items. I also found the staff in all areas of the hotel to be super helpful and friendly.
My sunset side balcony was a tiny square. I was told it cost 20 euro per night to upgrade to a full-size balcony. I find not prioritizing guest hygiene a flawed system.

Reasonable Stay

beachfront locationdirect beach accesssmall roomdusty walls
The hotel has a beachfront location. It offers direct access to the beach. The rooms were clean. Daily housekeeping maintained them very well.
Our room was small for the price we paid. The bathroom had pubic hair from the previous occupant. The walls were covered in dust. There were false eyelashes attached to our shower wall. It was disgusting.

Check-in was quick, and the room had a great pool view. The shower was powerful. I liked the comfortable bed that came with a duvet option. Direct beach access and a chilled grassed area surrounded the pool. Breakfast was lovely and well-organized.
My chairs and table on the balcony were not really clean (I had to wipe them myself).
