I stayed at this property for 3 days.I liked that the beach was within walking distance from the hotel. I enjoyed the cafe con leche from the bar. The staff was helpful...but not very welcoming. The pool area was nice especially the two jacuzzis upstairs however the timer on them was malfunctioning.

A wonderful stay overall. The hotel was spotless, with good amenities, delicious food, and welcoming staff. The property was well-maintained and pleasantly quiet, especially considering its location right in the middle of the busy coastline and restaurants — perfect for a relaxing getaway. Good value for the money paid.

Lovely small hotel

Great small hotel, close to bars, beach and town centre. Heated outdoor pool and hot tubs were lovely, always a spare sun bed available and the cocktails were fab ! The roof top bar was closed during our stay but we were not told this on check in.
