I enjoyed my stay. Having access to a kitchen was great, the staff were friendly (even offered me some soba noodles one morning) and the sea view from my window was great. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, as was the chair I was sitting in to work for a bit. There are stairs in this property (no lift) so it may not work for everyone.

My partner and I planned on camping and the campsites had closed for the season, so we went looking for options. This hotel was great! We ended up staying an additional night here, and plan to incorporate it into trips to the area in the future. The family that ran the hotel were wonderful and patient with the language barrier at times. We hope to stay again!

The owner lady and her are delightful. The room is facing the sea which is creating dramatic atmosphere. Just the stairs are a bit hard to carry luggage’s, but the owner’s son gave us big help to carry the cases for us. Overall fantastic experience to stay in Shari.

Much better than I expected. Rooms were clean and seemed renovated. Beautiful view from rooms. Room like a hotel, facilities and convenience of hostel with a large common kitchen and dining area. Staff were helpful. Not quite in town (a few minutes drive), but this made for a beautiful sea view.

An oasis

A truly awesome oasis on the edge of town, with superb views over the bay, and lovely owners who go out of their way to help you. The other guests were also friendly, and the set-up of the open kitchen where you can prepare your own meals is a bonus. Actually the best bonus was the free coffee available 24/7. That was a blessing to the two drowned rats who made it to the hotel in a torrential downpour… You would be hard-pressed to find better accommodation on the peninsula, and far less likely to meet nicer people. 5 big stars.

Un hotel basic dove non manca nulla, c’è tutto! La camera con vista sul mare era spaziosa. Ci sono spazi comuni dove mangiare e caffè sempre disponibile. Nei dintorni ci sono buonissimi ristoranti e 2 kombini. Molto consigliato!!! Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo!
