Decent Stay with Minor Issues

excellent position beach bag poor breakfast standard room

The position is excellent. I watched the sunrise every morning because the hotel stretches from east to west. The room included a beach bag and a beach blanket.

The breakfast was not tasty at all. I got a standard room that felt poorly prepared , disappointing.
