I was disappointed. Yes, it is by the beach. But the internet service was unacceptable. They had something (construction?) making a grinding noise off and on. The continental breakfast was mediocre.
The hotel was very clean staff were excellent right on the beach front only had one night perfect for us

The lady on the front desk was kind and helpful.
The room was not clean - mud over the floor, hair in the bathroom. Didn’t feel like a particularly pleasant stay and won’t do so again.
We were welcomed warmly to the hotel.Our room was huge and looked directly onto the beach. There was a choice of bath and shower or level access shower. All the staff we met were friendly and the reception area has been refurbished since our last stay with a new breakfast room and bar. The room was clean with good heavy curtains.
