Basic hotel that is located directly on n the beac

Felt safe the whole time and the pool was nice for the kids too. Had a small kitchen which was useful, since it had a few pots and pans andspme.ates and bowls. Wish it had full utensils, but otherwise was okay.

Our room was rather old though I didn't expect first class for the price. The bathroom was definitely not great. I felt the fact that no smoking is allowed anywhere on the grounds should be specified upfront before booking. And the tiki bar at the pool wasn't open once despite the sign down at the beach advertising it was.
