“Located at the quieter end of the bay with convenient parking, this hotel stands out for its friendly staff and the cooked-to-order breakfast service, a refreshing change from typical buffets. Rooms with a sea view are especially appealing, offering lovely vistas that enhance the overall experience. Despite some signs of wear, its location and welcoming atmosphere make it a worthwhile option.”
