Pros:

We really liked our stay here. The room was clean and comfortable, and the hotel has a nice atmosphere and a perfect location near the beach. We were happy to have an ocean view from our window. The staff were all very kind and friendly. We would like to come back.

Cons:

Some facilities and equipment are really in need of renovation.
There could be more options for breakfast, such as fresh vegetables and scrambled eggs.
