The breakfast offered a very diverse spread that covered a lot of different needs. I had a sea view even from my garden room. The rooms felt more like small suites because they were spacious and came with big balconies that provided privacy.
The hotel felt a bit run-down and seemed to need serious maintenance. The doors in my room were squeaky and hard to manage. The room layout was also a little confusing with unclear numbering making it hard to find my way around.
