Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally located, close to the beach and convenient for accessing various restaurants. The rooms are modern and well-equipped, offering a cozy stay. The staff delivers excellent service; however, the Wi-Fi comes at an additional cost. The hotel facilities are impressive, with a well-maintained pool area.
The hotel offers clean, comfortable rooms and friendly staff. Its proximity to the sea and local restaurants is a great plus, yet the lack of an on-site beach is a drawback. The homemade rolls included in the dining options were a nice touch, but some may find the facilities slightly lacking.
This hotel was a hidden gem by the sea, offering a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The room was spacious and well-equipped, but the dining options were somewhat lacking. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff always ready to assist. The location was ideal for beach lovers, although the facilities could use a bit of an update. Overall, a delightful stay worth the value.
