"Friendly staff, great view from the room and central walking location. Small rooftop pool/terrace, get there early for a chair/sun-bed. For the price, can probably find a better hotel within walking distance(0.5 miles), right on the water with 2 pools, water access, spa, more sun chairs, also breakfast included... but if that one is sold out, this is a great option."
