The air conditioner in our room had a mind of it's own, somewhat noisy at times and then a full on fan. We didn't do breakfast there but did have a drink at the bar which had a lovely atmosphere. The location was great, surrounded by lots of restaurants, easy to walk to everywhere.

Room is in great location, close to the beach, has a lot of restrurants, close to supermarket and 711. Check in time is strictly 3 pm no exceptions. Room service needs further improvements, previous guest left over plastic waterbottle was under the bedside desk not cleaned. Day 1 breakfast could not serve as per the menu.

Once we turned the air-conditioning on we couldn't turn it off, adjust the fan setting we had to keep turning the temp up. The tv remote was dodgy, when you changed the chanel or volume it would turn the tv off. One of the bathroom doors would close properly and the toilet needed repeated flushes every time. The staff were really nice though.
