okay locationsmall roomloud music
the location was okay, near the beach and some restaurants.
The room i was given was FAR too small, even after i booked a triple room. there wasn't much space to move around or get out of bed. it was next to the bar. VERY loud music played from 8 pm until 11 pm.

fantastic locationpool areafair price
I thought the location was fantastic. It was near the beach. There were lots of shops right outside the hotel. I found the pool area well maintained with enough space around the pool. Drinks were also priced quite fairly.
I did think some areas poolside need more looking at if you walk or have problems with sight.
