Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was fantastic, with a stunning sea view and impeccable service from arrival to departure. The rooms were always very cool and refreshing, though the continental breakfast was pretty basic and lacked variety compared to similar hotels. The service was top-notch, with attentive and helpful staff making my stay delightful. The dining experience was well done, offering a good selection of food, but could have been improved with a wider variety. Overall, a great place to stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel promotes proximity to a beach, but it's not ideal as the beach is dirty with no swimming pool. The rooms had no view other than a small overlooked courtyard, and the window needs a remodel. On the positive side, the service was exceptionally kind and helpful, making me eager to return for that alone.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is superb, with a sea view and impeccable service from arrival to departure. However, the narrow pedestrian streets made it a bit challenging to drive to, and accessing coffee and tea makers was not the easiest.
