Excellent Stay with Fantastic Location
spacious roomsecure parkingmodern furnishinginfrequent cleaning
The room provided was quite spacious. I found the underground parking convenient for motorcycle security. I was impressed by the modern and nice room furnishings. The reception staff were helpful upon arrival.
I did not like that some areas need more frequent cleaning. The hotel charges four-star prices, but attention to detail is inconsistent. Some updating should occur throughout the premises.

I noticed the restaurant serves good dinners. The prices were very good. Breakfast options included coffee, and there was also a breakfast service available each morning of my stay -.
Location

The hotel sits close to the beach. I could easily walk to many traditional bars and restaurants. The hotel's location made the palace accessible with a short walk. The scenery in the area is fabulous-
