Convenient Location with a Fantastic Rooftop

convenient locationhelpful staffrooftop atmospherefluent english
I found the hotel location very convenient to ferries for coastal trips. Beaches were easily accessible, with chair rentals available for about €15. The reception staff spoke fluent English and were helpful with local recommendations. The rooftop bar offered a great atmosphere and stayed open until late.
The hotel breakfast lacked variety. More options would IMPROVE the experience.
