Pros:

Beachfront.

Cons:

Felt a bit like a motel in some areas. The hallway and areas further away from the lobby could have been better maintained.

Pros:

Everything except the staff was amazing

Cons:

Waited over 2 hours past check in time because they were changing the light bulbs in our room. Ridiculous. Did nothing to make up for our time besides smile and apologize. Couldn't do anything with the 2 free glasses of wine they offered. My time is more valuable. Never staying here again

Great view, but overall very disappointing.
Pros:

The location of the hotel, metres from the beach. The view is outstanding.

Cons:

There was construction work in the kitchen directly above my room for most of the night.
I informed the staff of this at 01:45, after I had sourced the noise myself. See photo.
Noise continued past 3am. I have brought this up with Booking.com.
Barely slept, and overall an awful nights experience in a rather expensive room.
Shower pressure was also terrible.
