KKIKOohuoHealth is OK, the bed is very soft. There is air conditioning, hair dryer, small refrigerator. Meals are OK, Italian food. Close to the beach, it is relatively quiet at night, the pool is managed, but it is not changed every day. The hotel is small and there are no other facilities. The boss should be Italian, the dog Italian manager sees us as Asian faces, like owe the mother money, bad review!
