Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were on a higher level, offering a beautiful view and had great comfortable chairs. The service, especially the housekeeping, was exceptional. The location was accessible to both the town and the beach, making it very convenient. The dining experience, with home-made products, was delightful. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay truly enjoyable.
The hotel offers rooms with not much ventilation and very hard mattresses but comes with a large balcony and a bed. The service is good, particularly the housekeeping. The location is superb, being opposite the beach and close to shops; additionally, the adjacent Italian restaurant is lovely. Dining, although not included, offers freshly baked croissants. The facilities are satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The location was perfect, right opposite the beach and surrounded by plenty of nice restaurants. The rooms were comfortable with super comfortable king size beds, and the large balcony offered great views. The only downside was the dining experience not being included, but the ice cream was delicious. Overall, it was great value for money.
