4 Frustrating

Ah, the beach. The place where you can soak up the sun, feel the sand between your toes, and enjoy the breathtaking view of the sea. This particular spot definitely gets a thumbs up for its prime location right by the water's edge. However, it's a shame that the tiles and shower were in such a sorry state. It seems like the cleaning crew may have taken a vacation of their own.

4 Frustrating

The beach was quite congested and not well-maintained. However, the amenities provided were satisfactory, such as the restrooms, which were located uphill in the parking lot that was scarcely used - and you can draw your own conclusions from that.
