Nice and clean accommodations, people were very friendly, nice location and enjoyed the terrace with a drink. The room had no hooks to hang clothing, a towel or a toiletry bag. The electric shower was terrible, no water pressure and temperature was continuously changing, warm to cold. Otherwise enjoyed the stay.
