Lovely spacious room in a beautiful, historical building next to the beach, near a beautiful park, town life and restaurants. Live entertainment at night in the bar / lounge during our visit. Great dining area. We chose this hotel because of its location and also because it had a pool and we had a very pleasant stay. Two areas where it could improve: Provide real coffee in the morning, rather than from a machine. Mop up excess water on the floor in the changing room more frequently. However, overall it was very enjoyable stay.
