smooth serviceamazing location
The staff arranged a taxi from the airport to the hotel. the price was fair and the service was smooth, even though i arrived quite late. the location is amazing. I could easily walk to the beach and various restaurants. (this made exploring very convenient.)
The breakfast had limited variation. It was the same every day.
