a mixed experience with some drawbacks.

dirty watermusty smell

The bathroom cleanliness was a major issue. The shower tray had dirty water bubbling up with a terrible smell. i also found that the bar was unattended and the lounge was empty. there was a musty smell throughout the hotel. the reception staff didn't seem interested in my stay when i checked out. there was a communication barrier.

i found the room quite spacious. large windows gave a great view toward the beach. the hotel provided good quality linen, especially the towels were soft.

I noticed some hairs on the bathroom carpet. A more thorough cleaning would improve the experience.
