decent location, but some issues

good locationcrowded dining roomrude people
location WAS pretty good, close to shops and the beach, i guess.
the food choices left something to be desired, with a lot of things i just didn't cared for. the dining room got too crowded, it was hard to find a clean table. PEOPLE were rude, so the whole eating thing felt a bit like a competition.
