Very nice modern hotel, and very comfortable. We paid extra for a sea view room (only 1 night) so it was disappointing that our room wasn't ready until 5:30, when it was dark! To add insult to injury, I was told that if we were late to check out, there would be additional fees! So I don't feel like there was value for money in our case
