Spacious rooms - great for holidaying
Pros:

Close to the ocean especially if you booked room facing the sea. Great views

Cons:

Can be noisy but not too much as it is close to the road. Manageable though

My stay was good. Managemen needs to do more mantainance on the hotel to keep the standards high.
Pros:

I loved the fact that it was at the beachfront.
The room was huge it was like a suite with a lounge and kitche area.
I thoroughly enjoyed standing on the balcony and watching th sunrise and listening to the ocean day and night.

Cons:

The carperts were smelly they need to be changed.
The couches need to be cleaned they have stains l them.
Counter top had a chip in the wood
The rubber was pealing from the window inside
The place needs a lot of mantainance and they do minimum.
There was no wifi in my bedroom only in the lounge. I was told by staff that it is made that way so it doesnt reach the carpot. So it was a loss to me as a paying guest.
Lamp in the lounge arear is full of rust

Management is not mantaining such a lovely big and beachfront hotel.
