I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were nicely furnished, with a flat-screen TV and a spacious wardrobe, ready upon my afternoon arrival. The service was excellent, with helpful and accommodating staff always available. The location was superb, right across the street from the beach. However, the dining options were not exceptional, and the noise level was a bit bothersome at times.
