The hotel's architecture is nice, with spacious rooms.
The air conditioning had a time limit. It switched off every 4 minutes, requiring me to get out of bed to turn it back on. Rooms were cold and i had to wear a jacket.

Fantastic Hotel Experience

The breakfast on the terrace was a good experience with a beautiful view. A staff member, Allison, really enhanced my stay by making me feel very welcome. I also found the pool and pool bar very clean, and the selection of available drinks was good. The hotel offered easy access to a private beach club just across the street with clear water and soft sand.
The air conditioning temperature was controlled by the reception, a bit inconvenient.

The room smelled a bit musty. I suspect the air conditioning needed maintenance, it seemed quite old. the promised sea view was more of a partial view, with a large parking lot dominating the scenery. I found this disappointing! it detracted from what should have been a more relaxing experience. I hoped for better! considering the hotel's claims.
