Pros:

People from the hotel are very pleasant.
We did not enjoy it but there is a nice swimming pool.
Free and closed parking next to the hotel.

Cons:

The cooler was off when we arrived and was not working anymore, the night was very hot and difficult.
The breakfast was very bad, the fruit juices have a chemical taste.
On the terraces, people are smoking..(of course it is not the fault of the hotel but quite annoying)

Very good
Pros:

Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Room tidying was done daily and towels changed every other day. The room and balcony were spacious for a couple. Pillows were thick and the beds were nice and firm (although they made quite a squeaking noise). Breakfast lobby and pool area were also spacious and pool was very clean. The location was great: beach pathway was right at the hotel entrance, variety of restaurants, bars and a supermarket as well the bus stop for getting to the city centre near by.

Cons:

Breakfast wasn't the best for our taste. Scrambled eggs were available only on 2 early mornings and after running out it wasn't filled with eggs but something that seemed like dinner left overs (can't confirm though!). We would have liked more options on eg. delicious fresh fruits instead of jams, jellies and super sweet pastries which had plenty of options to choose from. Shower drain and toilet didn't flush perfectly in our room. It felt a bit uncomfortable that even short showering caused pooling and the toilet some times had to be flushed several times.
