The breakfast included a tasty and wide selection of food and drink. The staff were very helpful, and Jamol was friendly during his shift. The hotel's location made it easy to walk to the town and seafront while being away from crowds.
The bar in the reception area was not open. I asked for ice, and they didn't have any. -.
