mixed experience at best

thin curtains short shower
the location was alright, quite close to the beach and town center.
The room felt cramped with barely any space to move around the beds, so we ended up storing our luggage underneath them. That was annoying. the curtains were also ridiculously thin, so the sunlight woke us up at 5am every morning. Bring an eye mask if you plan on staying here. plus, the shower only ran for a few seconds before needing to be turned back on, that was infuriating.

equipped kitchen helpful staff
I really enjoyed the proximity to all the beaches, shops, and trails. it was convenient to have a fully equipped kitchen with everything i needed for cooking. the staff let me store my suitcase. That was super helpful. i found a washing machine available for use too, useful for my beach clothes.
I was a bit disappointed when i was moved to a sister hotel upon check-in. Finding the new location was stressful.

The location proved perfect, with quick access to both the train station and the town center. The building seemed very clean upon arrival, always a plus. I appreciated the ease of finding the place. It eliminated unnecessary stress.
I found the bed slightly too firm for my personal comfort.
