We arrived back from dinner just after 8pm and none of us (3 different rooms) could get the TV to work! I followed instructions but it was not responding - no sound, no response to channel or volume buttons. I just wished to watch regulr tv, nothing special but nothing worked! There was no contact numbers for help, so nothing could be done. Staff very friendly, rooms very clean and comfortable.

Good location

Great location as it is only a minutes walk to the beach. Room was clean and comfortable but rather dark. There was noise from the road. However for the price I would recommend it. Parking outside the room.
