amazing seafront stay

smart technology seafront location fresh fruit
i found the location excellent as it is right on the seafront. the smart technology in the room was a nice touch. breakfast was good (i especially liked the fresh fruit selection).
The smell of food was noticeable upon arrival. I later realized it was also a restaurant, so it was understandable.
