The hotel enjoys a prime location making beach access super easy. I enjoyed the bar and dining areas as they were wonderfully clean and tidy. The staff welcomed me very warmly I felt right at home. Breakfast had fresh fruit and cooked options. Service was fast. The staff clearly prepared food with care.
The shower dripped most of the night which wasn't ideal but certainly didn't ruin my stay.
