I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is just a short walk from the beach and surrounded by great dining options. The rooms were spotless and very cozy, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring. While the breakfast could use a bit more variety, the overall experience was delightful. The pool area was clean and a perfect spot to unwind. On the downside, I found the Wi-Fi required an additional fee, which was a bit of a letdown.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, positioned conveniently just off the main street and a stone's throw from the beach. The rooms were nicely arranged, though a bit on the smaller side. The dining options left a bit to be desired, particularly with the breakfast not being as varied. On a positive note, the pool area was fantastic and well taken care of. Overall, the value for money felt spot on, despite the minor drawbacks.

The hotel provides a solid stay with its clean and comfortable setup and a friendly atmosphere. The location is ideal, close enough to the beach and lined with local eateries. However, breakfast options are a bit limited, which could use some improvement. Overall, it’s a great value for money, but the Wi-Fi situation is a letdown since it isn’t complimentary.
