mixed feelings about the stay

hard mattress slow service

the location of the hotel was acceptable, with direct access to the beach.

The mattress in the room felt rather hard, causing some discomfort during sleep. Service at the restaurant was slow. Orders took longer than EXPECTED. this negatively impacted the dining experience.

Acceptable Stay but Concerning Security Lapses

limited menu inadequate response

Breakfast options proved quite limited. The food quality was only average. The room lacked a telephone, and I had to visit reception for any assistance. My purse disappeared from the room. I did not even receive a reply to my email about the incident.
