    Value for money

Loved having sumptuous breakfast.

It was a perfect 10/10 stay and I would definitely come back there. The hotel was spotless and absolutely stunning, had fine wi-fi. Beautiful view, a big balcony, big bed, too. A few steps away from the clean beach. Private parking was nearby, attentive service. Small garden outside.

It was a serviceable hotel which also was tidy. Large room, super bed and marble-lined bathroom. The staff did all they can for a such wonderful stay. An idyllic beach, nice view. I loved the authentic restaurant, serving special cuisine.

The room itself was good and breakfast was really tasty. Decent view, a little balcony, relaxing bed, too. Private parking was outside, top-notch service. Not to mention good wifi! Location near a local beach.
