A great all round stay. The staff are lovely and all talk English. The room was clean and the air conditioning helped it stay cool. I spent most of the time by the pool but it looks out over the beach. They have their own bit of beach where you can hire towels and beds for the day.

Loved my stay at the Magnolia. Solo traveller. Great pool area. Really friendly staff. Room a little tired but ideal for what I needed. I didn’t utilise the free bikes but if I were here for longer I would have! Close to restaurants, supermarkets and the beach. Would definitely come back!
