Decent Stay with a Couple of Disappointments

The hotel had a great breakfast with many options available.

The room I booked had issues. The air conditioning made a loud rattling sound, and the shower was clogged (I tried to fix it myself). This was great, but nothing changed).

A Few Issues Encountered

good showeramazing decorsmall roomdamp smell

The hotel decor seemed amazing to me. Well kept. All staff members seemed friendly. I appreciate the good shower.

I booked a sea view triple room. The room was nowhere near as nice as the photos. It was small and smelled of damp. I found it disappointing to have to pay to hire the hotel's sun loungers on the beach.
