amaziiiing ocean getaway!

ocean locationbathroom kitbreakfast variety

i found a super location near the beach and bus stops. the rooftop terrace had lovely views, and i enjoyed the convenience! the bathroom was the best! it had a great vanity kit including toothbrush, toothpaste, and even a sewing kit! woohoo!

the breakfast, while good, felt monotonous! there wasn't much variety, and i couldn't request different types of eggs beyond scrambled! next time, i hope for more options.

The rooftop bar offered amazing views of the Atlantic (I spent several evenings there). The gym featured dumbbells and exercise machines. The room had a good vanity kit with a toothbrush, toothpaste, and sewing kit. I found the location convenient for accessing the beach and traveling into town.

The hotel's decor felt a bit outdated.

The hotel is located outside the city center. It is close to the promenade, beaches, and beach bars. Transportation options are conveniently available nearby (I used the bus).
