Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel; the rooms were spacious and clean with a nice ocean view. The service was friendly and attentive, but there was a minor confusion about the extra cost for parking. The location was excellent, right by the beach, though some amenities seemed more tailored to local guests. The dining was a bit of a letdown in terms of variety. Overall, a decent value for money.
Staying at this hotel was a convenient experience overall. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped with a kitchenette area for added convenience, although the late check-in time was somewhat of a hassle. The service was accommodating and attentive, especially appreciated as a disabled guest. The location couldn't have been better, right across the road from the beach and a short walk to the Old Town.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms next to the elevators were outstanding, and the staff was friendly. However, the rooms could use some updating. The hotel features a microwave and kitchenette area, which was convenient for keeping open bottles of wine for the next day's meal.
