By far the worst and narrowest double bed we have ever encountered in hotel like this. Tbe pillows were not much help either. It had the feel of a cheap package holiday hotel. The staff were not unfriendly, but had a jaded attitide. The room key had to be reprogrammed multiple times as it unexplainably stopped working. The breakfast was average. To add insult to injury, they had the pool area booked for a large fashion show which prevented gusts acccess to the pool. I wouldnt recommend this hotel.

The room was billed and advertised as ocean view ! When I checked into the room the ocean was not to be seen but thru a sliver in a building in the distance .. when I called reception I was told its partial sea view ! It’s all bogus ! They charging room rates that are not reflective of what’s been offered on Expedia
