adequate seaside stay

secure areahelpful extrasbroken plugsunavailable facilities

the location is great, right on the beachfront. i liked the well-lit outdoor area with seating, it felt very secure. there were extras outside the door to use , helpful. the room had everything i needed.

my room did not have working wall plugs. this meant i could not use the refrigerator in the room. i also could not use the tv, so most of the advertised facilities were unavailable.

nespresso machinebalcony view

the room was immaculate plus quite spacious! a nespresso machine was available and provided wonderful coffee. the balcony had a bistro table with chairs. i really enjoyed the beautiful view from there. access to bars and restaurants was easy because they are located right outside.

the window only opened a small amount so it was difficult to get fresh air into the room
