The room was great. The pool requires reservations for the lounge chairs. And the hotel restaurant closed in the middle of the day- leaving us scrambling for a meal when we.arrived. We ended up getting groceries.

it is just by the beach and close to two grocery stores, and of course it is not far from a few restaurants.

Good points...the staff on the desk were helpful.
Negative things..parking was disappointing and stressful. No spaces...queues to try to park...awful experience.
I was very disappointed in the infinity pool. Most of it is about 10-15 cm deep so it looks pretty on a photo but is hardly a swimming pool! The deeper part where one can swim, only has width for 1-2 people.
The arrangement for picking up fresh pool towels and having to wait at reception, where clients are checking in or out, is frustrating and time-wasting. Needs changing, in my opinion.
The food is ok but more variety needed...especially for the breakfast buffet.
