Excellent location, wish could have stayed longer.

Pros: Location on the beach front to watch everything happening with the locals. Great breakfast, pools, evening food, guitar playing. Even the friendly cats! Cons: A little bit cheaper is always good!

Wouldnt book it again

Pros: Location was great, staff was nice. Breakfast ok, no more than that. Cons: No activities in the hotel at all in the evenings, not even music. They did not mention it, but all rooms with accesibilty are small, the large rooms are on a different building than the main, on a second floor, no elevator and bad stares. So we are a family of 5 that had to be squeezed into a small room with 2 beds that were added and felt like sleeping in camp. Thin matress and no net.....
