i thought the staff was helpful. I was happy the receptionist prepared a breakfast set for me since I needed to leave early. I loved the pool, and the room was clean. The balcony provided an very nice sunrise view, and it was a great experience.

the decoration looks a little bit dated, and i think this is the only problem.

I stayed in a spacious room near the beach. The breakfast was fabulous with a wide selection (I especially liked the fresh fruit!). The staff was also very friendly.

The decor in my room seemed a bit dated. the planes flying overhead were quite noisy. Flights operated from early morning. My room was located near the pool bar. It was loud some evenings.
