Great hotel great location
Pros:

We didn’t quite know what to expect when we arrived, but any apprehension we had disappeared the moment we checked in.

From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by a very friendly member of the reception team, Vincent, if my memory serves me correctly. Check-in was smooth and efficient, and when we asked for a dinner recommendation, he kindly suggested a nearby restaurant. I have to say, the food was absolutely delicious!

Our room was spotlessly clean from day one and was maintained to an exceptionally high standard every day throughout our stay. We were also lucky enough to have a beautiful sea view, which made our stay even more special.

We didn’t spend much time around the pool as we had several tours booked and preferred exploring the local beaches. However, it was clear that the pool area was cleaned every evening and kept to a very high standard. In fact, the hotel as a whole was immaculate throughout our stay.

The location couldn’t have been better, with everything we needed close by. My wife and I had a wonderful holiday, and we’d like to thank all the staff for their warm hospitality and for making our stay so enjoyable. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

Fantastico vicino a tutto e con una bellissima piscina
Cons:

la piccola porta che da accesso diretto al lungomare, durante i giorni del festival, era sempre chiusa. Capisco i motivi di sicurezza ma il cancelletto è talmente piccolo che può essere scavalcato, quindi non ha senso tenerla chiusa e costringere gli ospiti a fare tutto un giro assurdo

Super little hotel
Pros:

Super budget hotel , super clean rooms and staff so friendly and helpful.
Breakfast was very good a good selection.
The location is fantastic right at the end of the strip so very quiet the steps to the beach are just across the road.

We had a wonderful holiday relaxing but busy if you want to walk the strip and get a nice evening meal.

Huge big up to the cleanliness and cleaners super job nothing is to much trouble. Huge big up to the pool guy to who keeps it clean and immaculate!

We will be back

Relaxante
Pros:

A localização, a piscina e o pequeno almoço

Cons:

A única coisa foi mesmo o chuveiro, é antigo e a água sai em jato, a Wc precisa de remodelação mas como tudo o resto foi excelente isso acaba por nem ter importância.
