the breakfast buffet had lots of options and fresh omelettes were available. the location was close to the beach and the marina was just a short walk away. the room had a balcony facing the pool and it was super clean.
the bar staff seemed rude on one occasion and they were cutting fruit. the room was very dark, and i needed more plug sockets. the bathroom had a sewage smell in the mornings, but it faded later.

The hotel location was ideal. The breakfast had a good spread with plenty of options to choose from. The room was big with a decent balcony.
The hotel decor is very dated. There was NO tea or coffee in the room. I found the beds uncomfortable.

great locationunfriendly staffpoor breakfast
The location was great with a short walk to the marina (everything was close).
The staff attitude disappointed me. Reception staff seemed unwelcoming upon arrival. At the pool bar, service was slow. I asked for part of my order three times. Breakfast was poor. If I didn't arrive before 8:30, I waited in a long queue.
