The on-site restaurant, with its AA Rosette, signals a commitment to quality dining after a day outdoors, plus I appreciate that they accommodate late arrivals. It's a solid choice that doesn't compromise on service, especially for travelers with pets or outdoor gear.”

The room was smaller than expected. The bed was also quite small. The bathroom water ran all over the floor when I took a shower.

The refurbished hotel charmed me instantly! our room was a haven, offering comfort and peace. the restaurant was a true delight. I savored the delicious food, especially the red mullet. the staff demonstrated great friendliness. They even held off cooking our food as late as possible and it was still warm when we arrived.

the room's hvac was not working properly, it became quite warm overnight. i found it difficult to adjust to the higher temperature, which affected my sleep.
