Breeak was good.
The first night I could not sleep the loud music was coming front accross for the hotel and cars with loud music went on till 5 in the morning
I complained to the hotel staff and they gave me better room with no noise.
I noticed a few cockroaches in the bathroom
My Second room had View.
The receptionist was vert help full in sorting out the room.

First it is next to the beach , friendly and welcoming at the reception desk, security and cleaners and easy to access lifts .
The WiFi code should be displayed in the rooms we don't have to call or go to the reception

The location is excellent
The place looks like it has changed management, it is no longer that clean.The lifts are always out of service. The breakfast also not so nice like previous years. The beds are finished yoooo not comfortable at all. Please buy new beds, and clean the bathtub it's supposed to be white not brown.
