"Property location was right on the beach which was perfect. Breakfast was plentiful, served to you, with a number of selections in addition to only 1 egg option which changed daily. Room was clean but dated. Kitchenette consisted of a small bar fridge and 2 cooking elements. A microwave would have been great. Bathroom amenities were minimal - a tiny piece of soap and an all purpose shampoo/shower gel. Better quality and more would have been nice. No issue with shower pressure. A little confused about the room cleaning schedule - not everything cleaned/ changed everyday. Nothing done on Sunday. Would have been nice just to have the garbages changed everyday and towels every other day. Gym is bare minimum - not worth paying extra money to stay here just to have access to it. No issue with getting umbrellas on the beach - no extra charge. Parking immediately by the hotel for around 8-10 vehicles - there is a private lot very close that the hotel can use, owned by one of the restaurants but it gets locked so accessing may be difficult when the restaurant is not open. For the price we paid, we would probably look elsewhere next time."
