Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a convenient location right on the beach, ideal for beach lovers and those who enjoy shopping. The rooms, despite some drawbacks like being next to reception and smelly bins, offer old-fashioned comfort with some maintenance issues. The dining experience could be improved, and amenities like an in-room safe and minibar were lacking. However, the service highlights the old-school charm and helpfulness, making the stay pleasant overall.
The hotel offers immaculate, comfortable rooms, though the dining experience may need improvement. The location is perfect for enjoying the beach and nearby attractions. The service is accommodating, making for a pleasant stay overall.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were immaculate, comfortable, and surprisingly quiet despite being on the street side. However, there was a bit of noise one morning at 3 am from the municipal bins; requesting a beach side room for next time. The staff was accommodating and the location was perfect, right by the beautiful beach and close to great restaurants.
