TL;DR
Buildings 8 and 9 are renovated and considered the best. Request one of them with a sea or garden view at check-in.
For Deluxe Garden, room 8302 or other rooms in Building 8 are recommended: this is the closest building to the sea, with roughly a half-minute walk to both the beach and restaurant. Room 8302 is renovated, on the second floor, and has a large terrace.
Buildings 8 and 9 have been renovated, while the others have not. It's worth requesting one of these at check-in, ideally with a sea or garden view.
Arriving at night makes it hard to judge the building's location. By morning the situation becomes clear — noise levels, proximity to facilities, etc. Ask about buildings 8 or 9 right at check-in.
If reception assigns you an apartment room instead of a standard room and says they'll move you the next day, it may be possible to pay extra to stay in the apartment. Some guests negotiate this at check-in.
Building 8 is considered a decent option according to guest feedback. If offered at reception, it's worth accepting.
