The location offered proximity to the beach! I booked the King Room Ocean View. It gave a large window with a full view of the ocean. So great. The air conditioning worked very well. The room was spacious and clean. It was decorated nicely.
The electricity placement made turning off lights a bit tricky.

The location was convenient for accessing nearby attractions. The hotel offered bicycle rentals , and it made exploring the area easy. Beach towels were provided, useful.
My room overlooked a road . It was not a garden view as advertised. The front desk was sometimes unattended , and I had to wait. There was no elevator, so carrying luggage was difficult.
