Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally located, just in front of a small private beach and close to a nearby tavern. The rooms are comfortable, the service is efficient and the cocktails during happy hour are a nice touch. However, the dining options, particularly the savory pies, left something to be desired. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, though the price could be considered a bit high for the amenities offered.
I couldn't have asked for a better location, with a small private beach just steps away and away from the tourist crowds. The rooms were clean and modern, but the service was a bit lacking. Dining, however, was a delightful experience with delicious sweet cakes available. The facilities were great overall, offering a comfortable stay at a reasonable price.
The hotel's prime location near a small private beach offers a peaceful stay away from the tourist crowds. The friendly staff and housekeeping services add to the positive experience. However, the lack of air conditioning in some areas and the limited dining options are slight downsides.
