The rooms are clean and the balcony is spacious. Unfortunately, my partner was sick during our stay, but the staff was very kind and checking in on us regularly, to make sure she was doing OK. The place does not serve food or drinks, but there is a good restaurant down the beach and another good one that does fast deliveries. Also, there is a small shop for groceries within a 2 minute walk.
