An Acceptable Stay
swimming poolsandy beachbedroom doorshower head
The location impressed me. The beach access was super convenient. I visited the heated swimming pool, and it was a hit. I really appreciated the clean and sandy beach.
I found some issues with the room. I was concern about the gap under the bedroom door. The shower head really needed a replacement.

poor cleanlinessrusty water
My visit involved a rather shocking discovery beneath the bed in the Double Room Sea View I booked. finding a used condom made me seriously question the thoroughness of the cleaning. i reported this to the reception, and the manager addressed the issue, but it still left me feeling quite uneasy about the cleanliness. additionally the water in the bath was rusty. It emptied brown and left black stuff in the tub. This was not a refreshing experience.
