Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is fantastic, right next to a beautiful beach and has a decent walk to the main area. The rooms were lacking basic amenities and were noisy due to their proximity to the reception area and pool tables. The service was friendly but slow at times, and the dining options were a bit uninspired. However, the ample sunbeds and poolside bar were enjoyable.
The hotel is located near a vibrant bar yet away from the main area. The room felt a bit cramped but overall functional. The service is friendly and accommodating. The beach and cliffs are just a short stroll away. Dining options are varied and satisfying, and the pool area is well-kept.
