Very close to beach, really convenient. Room clean and very cool with good air conditioning. Hotel restaurant needs greater supervision from staff (needs a managerial presence, Maitre) to ensure certain standards of dress code and behaviour are maintained and respected (and I don't mean that I want a formal restaurant) -- the behaviour of certain families and their children made you feel as if you were eating at a big children's party and/or holiday camp. People need to respect other guests - people eating at tables next to you with 3-4 kids all with playstations and/or telephones streaming music/games/videos producing a real racket is not acceptable and the hotel needs to tell them so! Also, different waiters were offering their favourite guests different food (especially dessert) options not available to the rest of us. If we're all paying, then we should be all treated the same and offered the same options without favouritism. When the food was good, it was really good, when it was mediocre, it was really mediocre. They also need to start selling/offering more drink/food options in the evening after dinner - can't even by an ice-cream in the hotel! My ultimate judgement can be summed up by my answer to the question 'Would we return?', namely 'No.' Pleasantish stay, but the negatives greatly outweigh the positives.
