The spacious, clean rooms-some offering striking sea views-are ideal for families or couples seeking a comfortable base.

Excellent Beach Proximity
beach proximity hot meals boat trip
The location was very close to the beach. Restaurants and bars were conveniently located nearby. The breakfast was good with hot meal options. I recommend a boat trip from the maritime port. It was an amazing experience.
There was no free water in the room. there was no coffee machine for hot tea. I had a bad stomach ache one night and needed hot tea, but they did not offer it as a service.
Facilities
9/10
The hotel features a restaurant and a bar for guest convenience. Boat trips are easily accessible from the nearby maritime port. These facilities enhanced the overall experience of my stay, providing both convenience and opportunities for exploration.
Rooms
8/10
The room included a comfortable bed for a restful night's sleep. An ocean view from the room provided a scenic backdrop. The room size was adequate. It offered sufficient space for luggage and movement, but a bit empty!

good location comfy bed decent breakfast little space rolling suitcase small room
The location was good, but it isn't quite beachfront. I had to walk a bit to the stairs leading to the beach. Breakfast was decent and the bed comfy.
Although the room was large, it felt EMPTY. There was very little space to store my belongings, apply, twice. There was not enough space for two people to live comfortably for four days. My fiancé and I brought one combined medium-sized rolling suitcase, and we each brought a backpack but there was only space for her to store her belongings in the room. Oh dear!
