The location was acceptable and right in the centre of town.

Our room was delayed by hours. Then we got a bathroom with a strange odor. The shower also did not drain properly, frustrating.

The room was very clean every day. I really liked the free sunbeds on the beach provided by the hotel. There was no rush to get a sunbed in the mornings, made things really relaxing. I found the staff friendly and they always made sure guests were looked after (the Frozen Mango Daiquiri is delicious!).

The shower in the bathroom was a little small.
