Breakfast is wonderful. The property is quiet since it is at the far end of the touristy area. Short walk to train station and grocery store. AC works. Staff is helpful. The price is somewhat on the high end

. The staff were helpful and did their best to manage multiple tasks. The beach is within walking distance, and the hotel provides beach chairs and umbrellas for free, which was a nice benefit. However, the rooms and some areas of the hotel need updating, especially considering that this is a four-star hotel. The daily rate is not inexpensive, so I feel the hotel should invest more in renovations and upgrades to better meet four-star standards. Overall, the location and beach access are great, but the hotel could use some improvements.

I really loved staying here. Sarah at the front desk was so kind and helpful and the location was amazing. The room was large and super clean. The free lido across the street was fabulous. My only negative was that on Friday night the club nearby was so loud that even with all the windows shut, I could not sleep until they shut down which was past 1 in the morning.

Very nice family run hotel in a great location. Close for walking to old town in 15 minutes. We had a large room with private balcony and partial ocean view. Easy to park in their large lot. You get free beach chairs and towels included at a very nice beach across the street and use of the swimming pool at a neighboring hotel. The breakfast buffet was wonderful with all sorts of options including three kinds of eggs, cereals, yogurts, cheeses, meats, juices, croissants, etc, etc A great place for us.

I want to point out: there are no swimming pool nor hot tub. It was important for me. On another hand, the location is perfect. Short walk from the train station. Mostly, flat. Big grocery store within 600 metras. You can have your breakfast on a terrace, looking on a blue water of the sea. Breakfast very fulfilling.

Loud music in the bar opposite. The staff at the hotel were great as is the hotel. However, if you want to sleep before 2 am, forget it. So annoyed with this and the incessant drum beat club music that penetrates the hotel room that we were in. Wont be going baçk. There is no pool in the hotel although there is free access to a Lido 100 metres away.

Well located hotel, near the beach where you have free access to chairs and parasols. Swimming pool by the sea a five-minute walk away. Bord walk to get to the very beautiful old town. Very good breakfast with freshly squeezed orange juice. Basic room, very narrow bed and mattress too firm. Smashed patio chairs! suggestion: Offer a free bottle of water
