Reviews and Ratings
My stay at this hotel was absolutely amazing! The rooms were cozy and had very comfortable beds, and I loved the little touch of having takeaway bags available. The terrace provided stunning views, and I really enjoyed spending time on the balcony. The service was exceptional, making me feel right at home during my stay. The location was perfect, right on the beachfront, offering breathtaking views of the sea. The dining experience with lovely views exceeded my expectations. However, the price was a bit high for what was offered.
I stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful time. The children's bedroom was lovely with a very comfortable bed, and I enjoyed relaxing on the balcony. The staff was very friendly, and the location was perfect right on the beachfront. The dining experience with lovely views was an added bonus. However, the facilities were a bit lacking, and the price was a bit high for what was offered.
The hotel is beautifully situated right on the beachfront, offering a perfect setting for a relaxing stay. The rooms are spacious, clean, and feature a lovely terrace for unwinding. The dining experience, however, could be improved with more variety in the menu. Overall, a great value for money with friendly staff.
The hotel is superbly located, literally next to the beach and with a fabulous sea front view. The rooms are clean and cozy with a lovely balcony, but the dining experience could be more diverse. The service is exceptional, yet the facilities could use some improvements.
