"Unfortunately, the people in the room next to us had a dog. They left the dog in the room all day, and it barked loudly and incessantly. It is very selfish of guests to impose their unhappy dog on others. The hotel should have better rules regarding pets."

"Location of the hotel was excellent, easy access to the square with many dining options, beach access was a nice 20 minute walk, once at the beach area there were many shops ranging from food, drug stores and food options. The hotel breakfasts were good, go early as the hot portions went fast but you could as for more. The hotel did not have an iron or ironing board or a dresser to put clothes in, lived out of a suit case, over all we really enjoyed our stay."
