Close to the beach

Very average, restaurant food was ok, rooms need modernising, had a bad experience wih their Wifi when asking one of their staff who I think may have been the manager how it worked I was told to take it back to my room and not to worry about it, which I think is unacceptable, I thought they should be there to help
