The best thing about this Hotel is the location, it is right on the beach. However, it is a bit tired and rundown. The room was acceptable, but could’ve done with a refresh…. Some very basic amenities were missing, such as umbrellas to shade by the pool. The staff are lovely but seemed a bit poorly ...
