Bellissima posizione, buona colazione
Pros:

Posizione sulla spiaggia fantastica! Dalla camera si accede ad un grazioso giardino ben curato e alla spiaggia. Camera semplice e pulita, letti molto comodi

Cons:

Mancavano delle tazze per preparare tè o caffè. Il bagno era pulito e ben funzionante ma andrebbe rinnovato

Needs work
Pros:

Close to airport

Cons:

The room was very dark
There was no phone in room
Bathroom was dated and couldn’t have a proper shower as the head was spraying out water in all directions.
We left at 4am in the morning to catch a flight and got the lift to the bottom floor and we couldn’t get to reception unless we went outside. We decided to go back up in the lift and had to walk along a corridor of rooms to take the stairs down. When we got to reception to checkout there was no one there. We rang the number provided and it kept going on to answering machine.

Pros:

Loved the location of the hotel which is very close to the sea. Inside parking is convenient but you need to pay. Lots of parking on the street. Will miss breakfast. It was super. Very good.

Cons:

We booked 2 nights with garden view. They gave us a room on the parking. When asked, they told me they don't have space which was very disappointing as they should informed me upon checking in. However, the day after gave me a garden view but had to move all staff. Also the hotel needs to take maintenance seriously. Seems all rooms needs some updating.

Very Pleasant and friendly, good breakfast and great to have it served to the table.
Pros:

Its location and the convenience to my event on the night of my stay

Cons:

While it was lovely to see a big family celebration taking place adjacent to the lobby area , it lacked privacy for the participants as it was visible to everyone entering the Hotel.
