TL;DR
Travelers report that rooms in buildings to the right of the reception can get intense sun by late afternoon, making the balcony uncomfortable before dinner. Garden-view rooms are mentioned as a better option, sometimes still giving a nice garden-and-sea view with enough space.
If you like using the balcony before dinner, avoid rooms in the buildings to the right of the reception. Travelers say this side gets harsh, blinding sun in the late afternoon.
A garden-view room can be a good compromise. One traveler noted that this category still gave them a pleasant garden-and-sea view, which works well if you do not spend much time inside during the hottest hours.
Even with a great view, a sun-facing room can overheat badly. Guests describe direct sun for most of the day and a terrace that feels extremely hot by evening, so blackout curtains may need to stay closed during the day.
