“Poor experience!”
Disappointed by the experience! Location was excellent. Right at the beach. Rooms were passable. The fact that bothered us the most was the lack of functioning air conditioning in 2 of the 4 rooms we had. Initially, another room had the same issue which was resolved after hours of wait. What we realised later on was the AC was not working in another 2 rooms. Despite escalating, nothing happened. The breakfast was shabby! Only scrambled egg in egg selection, no fried eggs or omeletes. Variety of food was not good. Overall! not worth visiting again.

“Great stay in a nice room with a view on the sea”
Very nice hotel right in front of the sea, with a private part on the beach (sunbeds and umbrellas included in the price) as well as a swimming pool. There's a bar as well as a restaurant (which I can't judge as I haven't eaten there). It's also ideally located close to the seafront promenade, where all the bars and restaurants are located and on the other side, there's an animated street, also with bars, restaurants, cafes and shops. The personnel was very kind, polite and helpful. The room was clean, big enough and with a balcony. There's a parking if you come with your car. I recommend this hotel.
