breakfast buffet pool facing balcony short walk rude bar staff room darkness sewage smell
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.

ideal location breakfast spread decent balcony dated decor no tea uncomfortable bed
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.

Acceptable stay with some issues
unfriendly staff poor 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.
