the location was excellent. i enjoyed the traditional charm of the hotel so much. the staff was very helpful at all times, it felt so lovely.

my room felt a bit small, i have to say. the air conditioning was the older style, not the newest. also, i noticed there was no fitness room available, it made me a bit sad.

street noise limited breakfast

the room overlooked a busy street the noise was constant even with the windows closed. i found a few hairs in the bathroom upon arrival it wasn't the level of cleanliness i expect. the breakfast buffet lacked variety day after day i saw the same options it became monotonous. the coffee machine was often out of order a minor inconvenience but still annoying. the overall experience felt somewhat dated.

Fantastic Stay

fresh fruit helpful staff free access short walk

The breakfast buffet offered many choices. I especially enjoyed the fresh fruit. The staff at reception were consistently pleasant and helpful . The hotel gave free access to the beach, which I appreciated. The location is convenient. It is only a short walk to the train station (about 20 minutes) and there is a bus stop right outside the hotel.

The pool was next to a busy road. The noise was a bit distracting.

The hotel features a nice pool area with sunbeds and bar service, a clean swimming pool, and well-kept gardens. The hotel includes a relaxing beach area that guests can readily use, only minutes away. Breakfast has many options including fresh fruit, cereals, cheeses, hams, and pastries.

Acceptable stay with issues

expensive beach limited breakfast

The front desk staff spoke excellent English and were very helpful. That was a plus.

I expected more from this hotel, especially considering the price. The supposedly private beach actually cost €40 a day. You couldn't sit anywhere near the sea. Breakfast was just ok. I did not see fresh croissants.
