The location is great as it is near the main areas. I liked that the hotel had many areas where you could relax. The garden area near the pool with the terrace overlooking the beach was very nice.

The decor looks a little bit tired and old. My room was very hot, that was not comfortable. rooms do not receive service during your stay. I found that the reception staff were not willing to help when I needed something.
