location decent, but some issues

easy walkstrange grass cloth
The hotel is near the main piazza. It was an easy walk.
The room was disappointing. The floor coverings seemed strange, resembling grass cloth and i expected more amenities for the price i paid though i spent 3 nights.

Excellent Location and Views

private beachreclinable chairfree toweldated room
The hotel is a short walk from the town center so it was very quiet. The room contained a spacious wardrobe with a big safe. The hotel features private beach access and three terraces. These terraces included reclinable chairs overlooking the water. Beach towels are available for free.
The hotel could use some updating. The rooms were not as modern as I expected. Some newer amenities would enhance the stay. I think a small refurbishment would be beneficial.
