SUPERB stay near the sea
spacious roomclean roomfriendly staff
The room was spacious and clean. I SAW great views from the balcony, it added SO much to the stay. The bar downstairs had great food and the staff were very friendly.
The earthmoving machines on the beach were a little noisy. I think that this is the only negative aspect of my stay.

The room's cleanliness was not great, especially considering the price. The bathroom felt old and had mold. I also found the shower over the high bath difficult to use. I worried about slipping. The reception staff weren't particularly cute, honestly.
