We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Positives: - short distance to beach - very nice atmosphere - pleasant staff - nice pool, a little small, but ok. - good food - nice rooms - perfect beach Negatives: - the manager at the restaurant (an elderly man with makeup) was sometimes screaming at the guests, and very stressed. - sometimes the water filtering in the pool was turned of, and the water got dirty really fast. Had to complain for them to turn on circulation. - people did not shower before entering pool, the only showers were on the beach.
