Average stay with cleanliness issues

dirty room poor noise isolation

The location is acceptable as it is not far from the beach.

The room was not very clean I saw hairs on the floor and walls. I did not receive the toiletries listed as available. The noise isolation was poor as I could hear everything happening in nearby rooms.

significant noise steep hill

The pool area was clean, and I always found a lounger available. Breakfast had a nice selection of pastries.

The noise at night was significant. I could hear everything happening in the hallway and adjacent rooms. the steep hill leading up to the hotel was more challenging than expected and made going to the beach or town centre a chore.
