Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The one-bedroomed apartment offered a beautiful view of the sea and was spacious, although there was an issue with the air conditioning. The expansive balcony was a lovely addition to the room.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms with Seaview panorama were even better than expected, spacious, and impeccably clean. The service was top-notch with helpful staff who knew their stuff. The location was smart and ideal, especially for those looking for a quieter spot by the beach. The dining options were varied and satisfying. Overall, a great value for money choice.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were excellent, offering an amazing view of the sea and the pool area. They were even better than the photos, very clean, spacious, and with a nice view. The pool area was also great with plenty of sunbeds and it was immaculately clean. The location was wonderful, close to everything I needed, and the beach and local shops added to the overall experience. The dining experience was varied and delicious, although serving dinner in the beach bar could enhance the atmosphere. A truly pleasant stay!
