Convenient Stay Near the Sea

sea viewcomfortable bedhelpful staffkeyless entry
i was pleased to have a large double room with a partial sea view. the bed was comfortable, and the shower worked well. the staff was consistently helpful and polite. the keyless entry provided easy access using a code sent prior to arrival.
The stairs to the room felt a bit narrow, especially when carrying luggage. I had to be extra careful.
