mixed experience with some disappointments

loud music average meal

the room had everything i needed , and the breakfast room offered a lovely sea view.

i found my evening meal not worth the price , it tasted pretty average. there was live music , it was so loud during our meal that i could barely hear the others at my table. i was also kept up until 1:30 am because of the music volume , and i felt the room shaking.

convenient parking direct beach good breakfast

The parking was convenient. The hotel is located directly on the beach. Breakfast included eggs royale and it was very good perhaps even better than some 5-star establishments.

The music was loud over our evening meal making it difficult to hear each other.
