SpainOne block from the beach. Good breakfast. Front door staff are amazing but some reception staff have a bit of attitude. We were given wrong information about carnival tickets and refused two welcome drinks even though we had vouchers. General manager did apologise and didn’t charge us for late checkout (thanks!) but it shouldn’t have happened. Overall good value for during carnival
