the staff were friendly. i found the breakfast selection excellent. the cave pool offered a unique experience (it was quite interesting!).

my room's soundproofing was poor. i could hear water pumps working. the room also seemed to face the road, so i heard cars passing.

The room was a beautiful room. it was very spacious and the decor was lovely. Blue velvet with black and gold details, i especially loved the mirror on the ceiling. the shower was very good too. the balcony had a lovely seaview.

The outdoor pool was not cleaned. i checked in and went up to the pool area. There were dirty glasses by the bar. the pastries for breakfast were not fresh and the breakfast options were limited.

building site view inconvenienced staff

the room, supposedly a 'beautiful seaview room', overlooked more of a building site (i suspect they classify it as 'seaview' because you can see a tiny sliver of the ocean if you crane your neck). there was noise early sunday morning.
