Hotel itself was clean and the ocean fromt room was amazing. Sadly, our room was right above their cafe and they started blaring music every day before 7 that felt like it was in our room itself. Walls and floors are thin, could hear the upstairs unit walking non stop, sounding like elephants ahove.
