Mixed Feelings About My Stay

beach accessoutdated roomunreliable wi-fi

The location was directly on the beach. The beach access was a plus.

The room felt outdated. Cleanliness was an issue. I noticed dust and some grime in the bathroom. the advertised Wi-Fi was only reliable in public areas, quite inconvenient. It should be available in the rooms.

dangerous staircaselacking cleanliness

The staircase in the panoramic sea view room is a hazard. I actually fell and got injured because of it! Plus, the lack of in-room WiFi was annoying. It's only available in public areas. The room seemed a bit old and needed better cleaning, too.
