This hotel is basic but had everything we needed. Rooms were extremely clean and it was nice to have our rooms refreshed for the second night (which doesn’t seem to happen much with more than one night booked) For the price, it’s clean with hot showers. Just what you need after a day of travelling or exploring.

Located near the beach. Easy to get to and well equiped room. Very clean and comfortable. The shower curtain is half an inch too short so water got on the floor easily and the plug in hand basin flips itself shut so I did have an overflowing sink in a moment of distraction

Good budget option. Has a bar on-site if you like a quiet drink alongside locals. Beach within minutes proximity to location, short commute to shops, clean and tidy. Worth a look if you have a tight budget
