Excellent Stay!

The room included a full-sized refrigerator, a great convenience for storing drinks and snacks. I appreciated the daily cleaning service, it ensured a comfortable and tidy environment. Having coffee and tea replenished daily meant I could always enjoy a hot drink. The hotel's proximity to the beach allowed easy access for seaside activities.
The television in the room was a bit small, it could be updated for a better viewing experience.
