Comfortable stay
The room is very clean and comfortable and the hotel staff is very good and friendly. The toilet was choked during our stay and the maintenance staff came and settled the problems immediately. We can see part of the sea from the window and the view was nice. The only drawback was that there was no drawers in the room and it was a bit difficult for storage.
