the shower was hot and powerful it was a good way to start the day. the room was large and it faced the beach across the road.
the room was too warm there was no air-conditioning. opening the windows did not help much because of traffic noise.

I had a lovely experience! my room was a good size, and the bed was so comfy. the location was really convenient. It's a short walk to the beach. i got an early check-in, so i could get to the rugby. My room was ready at 11:30.
The noise from other guests was a bit bothersome. I felt a little let down by that.
