i enjoyed my bungalow on the sea. it included a private pool. access to the sea was easy. there were sturdy ladders in place. breakfast had a fantastic buffet.
the hotel seemed a little tired to me. i think it needs a refurbishment. the internal decor looked dated. the external area needed some tlc.

outdated decormosquito infestation
The gym proved quite disappointing. I believe it requires some serious updates. some equipment seemed ancient, almost relics of a bygone era. i noticed a distinct lack of modern machines. the mosquitos were relentless each night. They apparently discovered entry points somewhere in the villa. i suspected they were staging a nightly convention in my room.
