Staff/owners were extremely friendly, they couldnt be more helpful with recommendations, free cookies on arrival and the two little cars. They also gave free tea and coffee in the mornings as well as pastries and other breakfast goodies. The room was clean and spacious. Close to the beach, shops and restaurants. I would certainly stay here again.
