8/10 Very good

Room and bed are clean and nice. No furnishing except for a bench. Close to beach, beautiful area to walk. Easy access to nice restaurants. However, the inside of the shower curtain is kind of gross (large area of old sud-stains and maybe mold?). I managed to avoid touching it. Perhaps the maid didn’t see the hidden side.
