We accessed our room from the back-side and our initial thought was OMG, as we walked into our bedroom. But going further in we had a second bedroom full bathroom, a small but functioning kitchen and a nice sized living room with a chair, sofa and table with chairs. It is just a five minute walk to stores and restaurants and the sea. And the staff were very kind and helpful. We would go back in a heartbeat
