    breathtaking views
    poor cleanliness
    unexpected noise

    The hotel offers breathtaking beach views.

    During my stay, the cleanliness of the room left much to be desired, especially the bed sheets. I also encountered issues with the lift on my first day, where the doors got stuck and I had to force them open. Additionally, I was disappointed to discover that the advertised spa was actually just a health club nearby, and the pool appeared uninviting and noisy, which ruined my relaxation plans after a long journey.

    variety of pastries

    charming, charming, charming

    I adored my stay! The beautiful wooden furniture and crisp linens in my room. Plus, the proximity to the ocean offered fine views, and having breakfast with a variety of pastries and fruits was the perfect way to start my day.

    strongly recommend 😊💕

    fantastic view
    best seafood
    dated furniture

    I had an amazing stay! The room was stunning with a fantastic view, and the Mediterranean restaurant had the best seafood. I wish the furniture was a bit newer, though.

    stunning views
    helpful staff
    tasty meals
    noise disruptions

    Stunning views just a quick walk from the beach, perfect for evening strolls along the ocean. The restaurant serves tasty meals and the staff was exceptionally helpful when planning local tours. Breakfast was fresh and reasonably priced.

    The only downside was some noise from nearby areas during the night which interrupted sleep occasionally.

    spacious room
    varied breakfast
    inconsistent shower pressure
    unstocked fridge
    distance from nightlife

    The spacious room featured stylish walnut furniture and stunning sea views from the balcony. Breakfast had an excellent variety, including fresh fruit and delicious pastries. However, the shower pressure was inconsistent, and the fridge wasn't stocked upon arrival, which was disappointing. Proximity to local restaurants was convenient, but it could be further from the city center for those preferring more nightlife options.
