Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is perfectly situated by the beach and offers a cozy atmosphere with clean rooms and attentive staff. While the dining experience lacked variety, the overall value for money was good. The facilities, especially the pool, were well-maintained and delightful.
This hotel offers a cozy stay with comfortable rooms that have good facilities. The manager provided excellent service, and the location is ideal, close to the town center. The dining experience is enhanced with complimentary bread. However, the price might not be the most budget-friendly choice.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The location was fantastic, close to the town centre and right next to the seafront. The rooms were cozy and had good facilities, with lovely wooden furniture. The service, especially from the manager, was top-notch. However, the dining options were limited, which was a downside. Overall, a great value for money.
