Good Location But Some Downsides

The location is great because it is near the beach. There are also many restaurants nearby. We didn't have to rush breakfast because there were enough sunbeds. The rooms were cleaned every day and were very neat.
The pool seemed small and got crowded quickly. were very noisy and loud during the day. The noise made a relaxing holiday difficult. The safe required a daily fee of 3 euros, I find this annoying.

perfect service and super clean cleanliness

superb locationsuper clean cleanlinesshigh standardsdifficult doors
i traveled with my family, a group of three adults. the location is superb, directly across from the beach and near many shops and restaurants. the hotel is newly renovated and clean throughout. cleaning occurred all day, every day, and the standards seemed the highest we have ever seen.. staff were friendly, courteous, and eager to assist. service standards were perfect.
Some sliding doors for the wardrobe and bathroom were very difficult to open. getting a sunbed proved tricky unless one queued early. This impacted relaxation. i wish there was a better system to ensure fair access to sunbeds without requiring a long wait.
