A decent experience overall
fresh ingredients helpful lady clean rooms small room limited space tiny area
The breakfast included many fresh ingredients. The lady serving breakfast was helpful. The rooms were a good size and clean, which I appreciated. The hotel is in a good spot with fantastic views of the sea.
My room was extraordinarily small. There was NO room to maneuver in the room. I think the toilet and shower area was also very small. The room should not have been classified as a double room.
