Perfect Hotel, can't fault it, we had a brilliant stay. Yes the rooms are basic, but they're clean, big enough and the AC worked really well! Breakfast was a great selection and the pool was lovely and you could always get a spot on a sunbed. Location incredible, literally 30 seconds to the beach and a bunch of bars and restaurants. Don't expect 5 star quality but seriously great hotel all round, would stay there again for sure :)

Charming property and a great price for a killer location, right in between the beach and an endless selection of restaurants. The wifi wasn't very good from either our room or the lobby, but my goal was to get away from work anyway. Also, unlimited mimosas with breakfast :)

Lovely

The staff are really friendly and helpful. It is a really pretty hotel however the view from our room was not that great. Great location, however parking is an issue and is very expensive when you use the hotel's. The swimming pool area is very well presented. Breakfast was excellent apart from the revolting spread they use.
