The room i had smelled strongly of smoke, despite my request for a non-smoking room. it seemed like previous guests had disregarded the rules, and the smell lingered. also, the in-room wifi was slow and unreliable. I had difficulty connecting at times. it made working remotely quite frustrating.

sea viewbreakfast selectionwater pressure

I enjoyed the sea view from my room! It was perfect for taking photos. The breakfast was also great, with a lot of yummy choices.

I experienced less than ideal water pressure . The water would sometimes trickle out of the taps. The flush also occasionally malfunctioned. I think the hotel should improve these issues.

Dining

The breakfast offered many varieties that seemed to fulfill the needs of all ages. The hotel has a diverse selection. I found it to be high quality. The selections changed daily, a nice touch.

There is a pool bar that I visited quite often . The pool area features many chairs and tables, though some show wear with paint peeling off. I thought the bar was perfect.
