shaded loungers helpful staff bright lighting grumpy man

the staff were lovely and cute. the pool area had plenty of loungers i found shaded from the sun. breakfast had a lot to choose from. i really liked they stored our bikes securely.

the room had awful bright lighting. i could not open the shutter fully and i didn't see any natural light. the man at reception was grumpy and he sniffled.

mixed feelings about the stay

small rooms chemical smell

the hotel has a good location not far from the beach..

the rooms felt quite small i couldn't fully open the window to get some fresh air inside as there was barely any space plus the whole room had this strong chemical smell from cleaning products it really lingered and made it uncomfortable because you couldn't properly ventilate it due to needing a key for the window the breakfast also wasn't great it felt pretty basic with limited choices and there were no tea or coffee facilities in the room which wasn't ideal for a longer stay.
