The location was RIGHT next to the beach and offered beautiful surroundings. The staff was very amenable and helpful, i noted. The onsite restaurant had varied offers, and the food was VERY good.

Rooms were very small, i saw. There was NOWHERE to hang clothes or towels. The shower had low pressure, and it was impossible to get the correct temperature of the water.
