Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location couldn't be better, right on the sea-front with fabulous views over the beaches/bay, and being so close to the beach made my stay even more enjoyable. The rooms, though bright and airy with a magnificent view, needed a bit more attention to cleaning and a fresh coat of paint. The dining experience was excellent with stunning views but could be improved in terms of variety. A bit noisy at night being above the bar, but the friendly staff and family room setup suited us perfectly.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, with bright and airy rooms overlooking the sea, comfy beds, clean decor, and a super view. The small balcony was a delightful spot to enjoy the morning. However, I missed having sheer curtains on the big windows. Priced at €120 for the night with breakfast, the value was decent for the experience.
The hotel offers a quiet and lovely setting just moments from the village, providing a cozy atmosphere ideal for relaxation. The rooms are clean but small and in need of updates. The location, right next to the beach, is a definite highlight, offering a prime spot to enjoy the sea air and peaceful surroundings.
