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.
