The room was spacious on the beach. The restaurant and bar were very convenient. There were multiple restaurants within a short walk as well as some markets for supplies.

I typically would not pick a three-star hotel. The overall quality did not meet my expectations based on the star rating.

The so-called 'beautiful studio side sea view' was, let's say, underwhelming. it looked like it had not been renovated since like. the 90s? the bathroom? oh, the shower curtain was just downright terrifying. I half expected it to attack ME. and the fridge decided it would rather be an ice sculpture than chill my beverages.
