friendly staff really good maintenance
The staff gave a tour of the facilities. I saw the pool overlook the sea! every single staff member i met was very friendly and professional. the facilities and the individual villa were maintained. the shower was the biggest i have ever seen. they also provide a beach bag and towels that are refreshed. i liked the variety at breakfast overlooking the sea!
the hotel could use some updates. the furniture felt a bit old-fashioned.

Excellent Beachfront Stay!
improved breakfast beachfront bungalow
I found the breakfast selection very good with eggs prepared right in front of me. The beachfront bungalows are the best part of the beach. I also liked that a lot of work was being done to restore the smaller bungalows. They look very nice.
