Staff were nice, the hotel needs to upgrade the pictures on their website The rooms I booked and what I saw were completely different, some stuff that they claimed to offer did not exist or were not available, ( breakfast, swimming pool, fitness). The hotel needs some work done. The room I booked said with partial view of the beach or something like that. But I did not get that. Overall the hotel is okay, but can be better. They are nice, they offered free beach towels, chairs,bikes. The hotel is right across from the beach and accessible to many things. It is not far from the airport. The hotel needs renovation.
