seashore locationnecessary equipmentgood breakfastspoiled restbad vibe
The location is on the seashore with the road nearby it felt convenient. our room included all the necessary equipment. the breakfast had many good toppings and egg dishes. I found it satisfactory.
The hotel focused on events. This did spoil some holiday rest. some guests did not care about others, made for a bad vibe. It must choose between events or being a hotel.

the room had tea and coffee making facilities. the bed and pillows were comfortable. the air conditioning worked easily and i had a nice balcony overlooking the pool.
The buffet was basic for a 5-star hotel. It seemed more like a 2-star. my wife became sick after eating seafood at the buffet. food hygiene may be an issue at this place.
