I had a mixed experience during my stay at this hotel. The location is quite picturesque and there's easy access to the beach, but my room was in the basement with no view and there were quite a few bugs around. The service was friendly and accommodating, but the dining options could use some improvement. While I appreciated the clean facilities, the overall experience wasn't ideal due to the noise and the limited breakfast choices.

The hotel offers a great location with a supermarket right opposite and the beach just a few minutes away. However, my room was in the basement with no view, and I had to deal with a lot of flies and mosquitoes. While the breakfast was just average, the cleanliness of the hotel was commendable.

La ubicación del hotel es excelente, con un supermercado justo enfrente y la playa a solo unos minutos a pie. Las habitaciones están en un nivel de sótano, lo que significa que no hay vista y también hay muchos insectos. La experiencia del desayuno fue promedio y el ruido de la calle era bastante molesto. Sin embargo, el servicio fue correcto y el precio es razonable.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The hotel is located in a picturesque area with beautiful flowers and is just a short stroll to the beach. However, my room was in the basement with limited view and was plagued by flies and bugs. The breakfast was average, and the noise level in the room was quite high. Overall, the location is a highlight, but the room conditions left a lot to be desired.

The hotel is situated in an excellent location, just a short walk away from the beach and a supermarket right across the street. However, I had some challenges with the room being in the basement with no view, and there were quite a few bugs. The breakfast was average, and I expected a bit more variety. Overall, it offers decent value for money, but improvements could be made in certain areas.
