An okay hotel near the beach

friendly staffexcellent breakfast choicegreat viewlong check-inthin wallsingle toilet

The staff were very friendly and helpful EVERYWHERE, especially at the reception. The breakfast CHOICE was excellent. It offered a lot. The room itself was perfect, and I enjoyed the view.

Check-in took a LONG time. It lasted easily 30 minutes. This was not a good start. I could hear every door CLOSE night and day. There was only one toilet at the pool, and there was NO key to lock the door.
