Big rooms but everything about the hotel is a bit outdated. It’s clean and everything works but it’s ripe for a good remodel. Staff are very nice!! Big + voor the front desk manager! Breakfast was not great but certainly not bad either: everyday the same: after 2 weeks staying there we had enough… Restaurant has much more potential! 15 min walk from beach and there’s a free shuttle bus too.
