superb stay
spacious room convenient location great value
we arrived a bit early and found our room was ready (what a treat!). the hotel is close to a supermarket, some restaurants, and many shops. the beach is about 15 minutes away by foot. the room was very spacious and well-equipped, and i considered it great value for the money.
the bar by the pool was a bit pricey for drinks.
