clean pool comfortable lounger
The hotel sits very close to a beach. Access to it is convenient. The pool is excellent and the sun loungers are comfortable. Breakfast offers plenty of choices even though it becomes repetitive.
I noticed the hotel is located slightly outside the city.

uninspiring view faulty air conditioning
Breakfast was acceptable. It provided sufficient options to start the day.
The room I booked supposedly had a terrace, but it faced a rather uninspiring view of a service area. the air conditioning seemed to have a mind of its own, sometimes working and other times deciding to take a break. I reported it, but nothing changed .

Solid Hotel for a Short Visit
good facilities customer service
The hotel provided good facilities. The breakfast layout had many options. Simone gave wonderful customer service. I liked the close drive to attractions.
The hotel said coffee in the beverage selection in the room was only available the first night. It took until day 3 to find that out. We only had one Nescafé tube when arriving.
