Excellent Staff and Prime Location
friendly staffbalcony viewprime locationdated decor
The staff was indeed friendly and accommodating. My room had a balcony, and it offered a sea view, this I found most pleasing. The hotel location suited me well, as it was a short walk to the beach.
The hotel seemed dated in certain places. Updating the decor would improve the overall impression.

The hotel provides an indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi for relaxation. Games tables are available, this offers recreation. Free parking is offered, this I consider a big plus.
