mixed experience with some issues

stale smokebuffet quality

i was rather disappointed with the room i initially received. i requested a different room and, while the replacement was better, it still wasn't quite what i expected based on the online photos. also, the breakfast buffet left something to be desired. the food wasn't particularly fresh, and some items seemed to be of low quality.

The hotel benefits from a location directly in front of Bikini Beach. Sun beds and umbrellas are accessible to guests throughout the day. The sea view was lovely for those rooms equipped with a balcony.
