Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is in a lovely location near the beach and central to town activities. The rooms were not cleaned daily but featured a double bed and a charming patio. The service was warm and helpful with tours/ticket assistance. However, the dining options were limited to a continental breakfast.
If you're looking for a great location with easy access to the city center and the beach, this hotel is a good choice. The rooms are nice with a patio but could use more attention in terms of daily cleaning. The service is helpful, especially with tours and ticket assistance. The dining experience might not be too exciting, but there are glazed cakes. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel is in a wonderful location, very close to the town center and just a stone's throw away from the beach. The rooms have a lovely patio and a comfortable double bed, but unfortunately, they were not cleaned on a daily basis. The service, inclusive of tours and ticket assistance, was top-notch. However, the dining was underwhelming with only a Continental option available, despite the presence of fresh fruits. Overall, it offers good value for money with a few drawbacks to keep in mind.
