Nice place, would stay again if we came back to the island.
Pros:

It was clean and the staff were wonderful! It was a nice place, far enough away from the noise of the town but close enough to walk. The breakfast was very nice and very appreciated!

Cons:

The room and bathroom were very compact! The tv didn’t have the ability to stream, a smart tv would be nice. The beds didn’t have a fitted sheet so the bedding got to be quite uncomfortable.

Overall, we had a good stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and we really appreciated their flexibility with o
Pros:

Everything was good. The staff was very polite, helpful, and accommodating. They helped us with an early check-in and also allowed us to leave our luggage after check-out, which was very convenient.

Cons:

Everything was generally good. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the rust in the bathroom. For a hotel that costs around $300 per night, I expected the bathroom to be in better condition.

La struttura in generale è OK, pulito e ordinato il che è fondamentale. Molto discutibile la dimensione del letto
Pros:

Sicuramente la posizione è ottima anche se penalizzata un po’ dal tratto in salita con una notevole pendenza da percorrere per raggiungerla, comunque rimane un’ottima posizione per raggiungere il casinò e Descanso beach.
La terrazza è molto bella, gode di un ottima vista sul porto ma è veramente poco sfruttabile dato che non c’è un bar, sarebbe ottimo poter consumare la colazione in terrazza ma risulta molto scomodo a causa dei tre piani di scale che separano la zona allestita per la colazione e la terrazza.
L’allestimento della camera è buono, si può trovare una macchina del caffè e un forno a microonde, asciugamani in abbondanza e prodotti per il bagno ottimi. La colazione è senza infamia e senza lode, molto molto basic, con il senno di poi avrei preferito prenotare senza la colazione.

Cons:

Il letto è veramente molto piccolo. Bisogna leggere con attenzione la descrizione al momento della prenotazione per capire che si tratta di un letto lillipuziano. Non è possibile muoversi senza svegliare il proprio partner. I turisti che vengo da fuori potrebbero essere ingannati in quanto per gli standard europei un letto queen size è considerato più grande.
Il bagno anch’esso molto piccolo, non avevo mai visto un lavandino così piccolo 😅 ma perlomeno è presente una piccola finestra.

very serious and not particularly welcoming. As soon as I entered my room, I immediately asked if I could change rooms,
Pros:

Not only was the location on a steep, sloped street,—there was no one available to help carry the luggage up to the second and third floors, despite the stairs،

Cons:

Very very small , dark room for two people , even I was by myself and reserved for two people ;uncomportable bed with uncofortable pillow
