The location was excellent, right by the beach. Our room was a decent size, however, the decor felt dated. I noticed that the carpets had several stains, and the bathroom fixtures looked worn. The service in the restaurant was quite slow. It took a long time to receive our food, and our server seemed inattentive, the slow service.
