good locationpoor bathroom configurationovercooked meal
The location was good with the beach just across the road. Shops and restaurants were a short walk away.
The bathroom design was terrible. The door opened right onto the toilet, very inaccessible. The hot tub was out of service. Room service was slow, and my £42 meal was overcooked. I suspect the chef watched football instead of cooking.
