8.4/10 Very Good! (47 reviews)
The staff are absolutely wonderful. Outstanding, all of them!
The location is very handy for both the beach and a short walk to the old town. Nice view of the beach if you have one of the suites etc.
The hotel itself is a bit dated. If you are used to 5* hotels around the world, you won't get that. It is all decent and functional but just bits here and there are a bit like we used to do things in the naughties 😊 two double beds pushed together to make a king etc etc...
Overall nice stay though. The old town is excelled for places to eat and go out. The beach is nice, great water.
