beach locationorange juice
the hotel offers a beach location and proximity to the old town. the breakfast buffet included cava and champagne, along with fresh-pressed orange juice. i found both of these details good.
the room thermostat was permanently set to 25 degrees, resulting in one uncomfortable night. it was corrected the following day.

The breakfast offered a good selection of options. The staff worked hard to accommodate needs. This met my expectations
The thermostat in my room seemed broken. It stayed permanently set at 25 degrees, and it made for an uncomfortably hot night. I really didn't sleep well.

I found some staff apathetic, particularly those at the front desk and in the restaurant. They barely acknowledged my presence or offered help with luggage.
