"Great find, seems newly renovated with nice new everything, and a great new pool area. I also liked there was a real window in my room for some fresh air in the evenings… Friendly staff and a good location near local markets and restaurants. Gem of a local breakfast (Carmelitas) and dinner (Papa Loca) within a 5 minute walk, or just eat in the hotel . Also an easy 15 minute walk to the beach. I would recommend this place for the value for money shopper"
