Positive: Some of the standard rooms were set back from the ocean and were large, but smelled of damp. We were moved to a beachfront room. This was nice with a view of the sea, below the pool. The bed was hard. Basic bathroom. Plentiful hot water. The rooms need a decorative upgrade. Breakfast was passable, but strange, using lunch items. They made eggs. Coffee is instant. No alcohol is served, but next door there is a small, local bar called Arnoldi’s that also does beautiful fresh calamari too. The road to the hotel is terrible. Takes ages to get from the main road. I wouldn’t like to deal with that in the rainy season.

Negative: I’ve stated above.

Summary: Nice-but needs upgrading.
