"Very unfriendly staff. I have not felt being welcomed there. There was not a single smile during my stay. The restaurant host was the worst. Even if it is not in European culture to smile, they must learn it in this business."

The rooms in the hotel itself have WiFi but as our room was in a separate building down the street that was not the case. The rooms in the hotel also have nice ocean views but again, the building where our room was located didn’t afford the view that I expected."
