Comfortable Stay with Convenient Location

convenient locationbreakfast varietyample umbrellasrooftop views
The hotel is near the town. This meant easy access to restaurants. Breakfast had a good variety of items. The pool area has many umbrellas and sun beds. I found the rooftop bar had great views.
The pillows were quite lumpy, causing some discomfort.

Satisfactory Stay, Some Issues Encountered

range of eggspleasant touchelectrical issueimpractical handle
Breakfast included a lovely range of eggs. I also found the coffee to be nice. The pianist definitely made an impact. It was a pleasant touch that I don't normally get.
the electricity tripped each night and the emergency light lit up the room. I also found the hairdryer loose on the wall. The handle for the bathroom was really impractical.

Solid Choice for a Relaxing Stay

The hotel had a spacious bedroom with a good-sized walk-in shower in the bathroom. I had a lovely sea view from my first-floor bedroom. The breakfast offered an extensive choice of options at the self-service. The hotel is also a short walk to the main square.
The gym was a little small, with limited equipment options. It could use an update.

The hotel is conveniently located a short walk from the river front and town center. The walk is up a small hill. A bakery nearby provided a convenient stop on the way back to the hotel after exploring the town.
