Fantastic Views and Great Breakfast

fantastic viewocean baysuper clean cleanlinessroad noise

I stayed in March 2025 and was impressed from the start! The location is a short walk into town, which I did most days. The hotel was spotlessly clean. My room on the 11th floor had fantastic views of the ocean and bay. Breakfast had lots of choice and started early.

The air conditioning was switched off during winter months. I had to keep the balcony door open to stay cool! This led to disturbance from scooters and cars at night.

The breakfast buffet had everything I wanted and offered fine views. The hotel provides a free shuttle bus service running to the city center! The sun deck balcony is an amazing place.

The hotel is close to a fabulous shopping center, the Forum. I enjoyed the peaceful feel. There is also a path along the shore from the Lido all the way to Fomosa beach. It is close to restaurants, too.
