i enjoyed the location near the beach.. the bar had a good selection. the staff was nice. the room was comfortable.
the service was slow. drinks came out wrong, and it took a while to correct it. our bill had incorrect information.. we waited for the corrected version for a long time. the card machine was not brought to the table, so payments were slow.

the room was very spacious, parking my mobility scooter presented no issue. the bathroom included two showers at opposite ends. i liked the two balconies, though a small table would have been useful.
The windows were quite dirty. This detracted slightly from the balcony view.

I had some issues . the mattress in my room was not very good. it wasn't awful, but it definitely affected my sleep. also, the reception staff seemed quite poor. They didn't. i was also surprised to be asked to pay for my stay in advance and felt a bit untrusted when i tried to use my apple watch. the whole experience at check-in. also, as i came and went, nobody ever greeted me or checked that i was enjoying my stay.
