Nice clean room. Nicely decorated. Short walk to the beach without having to cross the road. Great beach chairs and umbrellas. If you need to do laundry, please be aware that you have to download an app, put money on the app and then pay to wash and dry your laundry. Overall, a very nice place to stay.
