The hotel was great but unfortunately there are 2 issues
1-Hotel location, is a bit far from most of the restaurants and Cafes
2-My room was located below reception ground level, and there was no left, this is a problem during check out as you would need to carry the luggage
Great location to the beach and to the local restaurants. Traffic is very crowded and busy but which means it is a great place to visit.
Pools and place for children to play was very nice.
Breakfast was great with many variety and quality, but could be better if the menu for the breakfast changes everyday.
Lovely place, wonderful friendly and helpful staff, amazing food especially the breakfast (!) and a amazing view of the ocean from our room! Will definitely stay there again!
