prime location enjoyable veranda walking tracks

i found the location prime, it was opposite the beach. restaurants and cafés were close. the veranda was an enjoyable place, it allowed us to really take in the view. we could walk everywhere.

the bathroom soap was tiny. i think it needs updating, as the decor felt very basic. the room needed a little love.

The location was central. It was easy to walk to the beach. There were many options for eating out. All were in walking distance. The fridge held our watermelon. This was great for the hot days!!!
