Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had rooms that were not as clean as expected, with outdated bathrooms that did not match the online pictures. On the plus side, the room was spacious with two balconies, featuring a standard setup with a double bed and a small sofa. The service was friendly, although a bit more engagement upon arrival would be welcome. The location was good, directly on the beach, offering a nice setting by the Mediterranean Sea. The dining experience fell short with poor diversity and food quality issues. However, homemade bread was a standout. Overall, the hotel had its ups and downs, making it an average stay.
The hotel had a room with one double bed and a small sofa. The bathroom seemed outdated and not as shown in the booking pictures. Overall, the stay was nice, except for the room setup.
I stayed at the hotel, which had a balcony next to a large terrace accessible from the street, which felt a bit exposed. The room was decent with a double bed and a small sofa, but the bathroom seemed outdated and far from what was advertised in the booking photos. The overall experience was average and felt like it could use some updates.
