small car parklacking character
the reception staff did not always display friendliness. the car park proved inadequate , forcing us to use the second one across the street. this second car park was considerably distant from the entry , a definite inconvenience when managing a baby stroller and luggage. additionally , the hotel lacked distinctive character , with rooms devoid of decoration.

The location was great, right by the ocean and promenade. breakfast was delicious and offered lots of variety. hotel facilities were very good. The pool was clean, and access to the beach was easy!!!
The bed was very stiff, not very comfortable. We woke up with back pain. there was no air conditioning in the room. At least it wasn't working properly. it was very warm. We had to open a window to freshen up the room.
