Useless location nothing like in the pictures. Pictures are from 30 years ago, the place is so shattered and need a big upgrade.. I’ve not stayed a minute.. Not giving even 1 star.. there is no use of beach.. huge construction going on the beach.. big consignment making huge noises.. no vibe looks dead.. I need my refund back at any cost.. Booking.com need to know what they putting up and charging people for luxury holidays.. It’s look like mental asylum.. I literally started crying asap I arrived
