helpful staff beach access loud music broken sun-loungers

The staff was very nice and helpful. I could easily walk to the beach (it took about 5 minutes).

Our room had an issue with noise (there was loud music playing every evening). I noticed some sun-loungers around the pool that looked broken.

cockroach problem clogged drain

The breakfast service was acceptable (nothing extraordinary).

On arrival, the room had a cockroach. The staff eliminated it but did not clean afterward. The corners still had dust. The shower drain was clogged, and a puddle formed. They fixed this issue the same day but cleaned the traces the next day.
