Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Location is excellent, the room size is good, with plenty of storage space. The bed was comfortable. It has a pleasant balcony with sea views. The free laundry is a great benefit as is the free filtered water.
Negative: There is too much furniture in room 314 making it challenging to move around without banging your ankle against the protruding wooden bed base. Also we needed to move chairs to access the drawers. The room has a bad moldy smell and needs an upgraded bathroom and shower.
Summary: Good location
