Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is wonderfully placed right by the seaside in a beautifully maintained garden, very close to the center and next to the beach. The rooms are cozy and spotless, but the service could use a bit more attention. Dining offers appetizing traditional homemade products. The value for money is reasonable, though in-room amenities may be lacking.
