The location and common areas, except the kitchen was not very clean, and no clean kitchen towels for drying or wiping stuff down.

The lication and size of the upstairs rooms were horrible. Stairs were dangerous getting stuff up to room.

Proximité de la mer et personnel sympathique

Manque les transats sur la plage et les chambres sont assez sombres
