"Nice location, somewhat outside of town but with free parking; nice pool, with great view of the beach. The "free" breakfast feels to me more like a check mark feature for the search filters rather than a real enjoyable breakfast so I skipped it almost every day. The whole place is built on sand so be aware you have to be comfortable with sand everywhere, but if that's your jam it's quite unique "
