The location of the hotel is acceptable, with proximity to the beach.

I was disappointed that the hotel appears old and some parts seem dilapidated. The room showed its age , and a general lack of updates affected the overall experience. I think a refresh is necessary to bring the facilities up to standard.

I was very disappointed with the general state of the place. The rooms felt OLD and the floor didn't seem properly mopped. I could feel the dust. EVERYTHING reminded me of it needed maintenance as it was not kept to a 5-star standard.
