I found the location very convenient. It's just a short walk to the beach, about 3 minutes. The buffet offered a great variety of options.

The pool area seemed a bit dirty! There was rubbish around the pool, and I saw some cigarette ends. The music was loud, so it was hard to have a conversation.

The hotel location was handy to the town and beach, made exploring easy. It was situated just off the main area so it was quiet and peaceful. I enjoyed being close to amenities though being in a calmer area.
