I found the room spacious, clean, and well kept during my two-night stay. the location is central in the white town and within walking distance of the promenade beach. airport pick-up was arranged, and all my needs were promptly met. i enjoyed the à la carte breakfast with a three-course meal. Seats were reserved in the restaurant for hotel guests.
I found that the hotel lacked a lift. Luggage was carried by the staff.

Mixed experience, some issues with service
clueless staff noisy road
the location was great, it was easy TO get around the area.
i found several issues. the staff seemed a bit clueless and sometimes gave untrue answers rather than admitting they could not fulfill a request. ONE morning, a promised early breakfast wasn't prepared despite confirmation, this was frustrating. my room faced a noisy road, so sleep was difficult.
