The location near the beach was very convenient. Breakfast included a great variety of food options and drinks.
The hotel lacked coffee-making facilities in the room. The bar area looked understaffed so getting a hot drink was difficult.

Staying here was really great! The location was perfect, right across from the beach. I easily found many cafes and restaurants nearby, very convenient. My room was also spacious with a comfortable seating area, which I enjoyed. Underground parking beneath the building provided secure parking.
I noticed the breakfast bread was a bit hard, but everything else was amazing!

The room was spacious. The mattress are super comfortable. Breakfast had a good selection of types of food. I could get as much coffee from a machine.
The balcony wasn't very cute. It are not clean. There are no iron in the room. There are not even a glass, just a plastic beaker thing.

My room faced the sea. The view was wonderful (i really liked it). The room size was good. Underground parking was available. This was very important because public parking is difficult in the summer.
The bed was uncomfortable. The food at the restaurant was not good. My wife's fish was the exception. I will not eat there again.
