I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The evening meal and breakfast were exceptional and the rooms were nicely decorated and comfortable, but a bit tired and dated for the price. The service was very accommodating and welcoming, with staff swiftly addressing any issues. The location was perfect for me, near the beach with great sea views but in need of a bit more cleanliness. The dining experience was very good with plentiful options, and the facilities were top-notch.

The hotel offers a fantastic view of the sea from the balcony and the top floor, though lacking a lift. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond to make our anniversary stay memorable. The location overlooking the sea is amazing, but ongoing renovations impacted cleanliness.
