Excellent location. Clean. Large rooms. The hotel actually consists of two hotels. One is older but remolded and overlooks the sea. The one we stayed at was just above it. Very quiet in January but apparently quite the opposite at other times of the year. Good service. Buffet breakfast. Good but not excellent. Buffet dinner can be purchased also. We ate there a couple of times - 25 E pp.
