Pros:
- Outstanding staff who were consistently friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable about local attractions and dining options
- Excellent complimentary beach equipment including chairs, umbrellas, swimming gear, and towels
- Spotless accommodation with reliable heating and cooling
Cons:
- Intrusive exterior lighting from common areas penetrated our room, making sleep difficult due to brightness levels persisting through the night
