    Had an amazing stay! The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The hotel is in a great location, close to everything — we could easily walk to shops, restaurants, and attractions. The rooftop bar was a highlight, offering a great atmosphere and lovely views. Would definitely recommend and stay again! We'll be back for sure!

    My husband and I had a fabulous stay from the moment we arrived. Fernando greeted us warmly and was extremely helpful and informative. He allocated us to a beautiful and very comfortable room with fabulous views from the large terrace. The hotel is superbly located, with excellent facilities including a pool with jacuzzi and with access to parking. Extremely friendly and helpful staff, delicious food. We’ll definitely be staying there again

    Breakfast buffet a little chaotic with a lot of people all trying to eat at the same time. July crowding.

    Very friendly and helpful staff, especially Alicia on reception. Perfect location on beach with parking across the road, pay in reception before parking and get a better price.Rooftop bar very smart and prices fair. Rooms at front with a balcony give great view.

    Perfect location, clean rooms, helpful reception. Roof bar in summer is very cool! Room was big and had a nice treat on arrival.

    A little disappointed to find out that the parking advertised was actually only street parking. Due to the close proximity to the beach, this made finding a space extremely difficult! Plus, we didn't have the security of hotel parking. There was public paid parking in the area.perhaps they could have a reciprocal arrangement with this public carpark for their guests.

    Extremely lovely staff especially front desk gentleman Gonzalo.who helped with a mix up of our booking dates.

    Our AC was not working properly and despite advising reception nothing was done. The handyman went in and cranked the thermostat as low as it would go but the room temperature never got below 26 degrees.

    Great location. Lots of places to eat near by. Across from the beach. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

    There was nothing I disliked.

    Everything. It’s just across the beach, with everything you need to enjoy yourself. Free yoga and fitness classes in the morning. Walkibg distance from the village center and main historical points. The team were warm, kind and super nice. Great views from the rooftop bar, nive little pool. Great value for money!

    The only thing that we can point out was the elevators, they need to be sorted out. You can be waiting for a long time for them, that is super annoying specially because this is a 9 floor building and not everyone can use the stairs.

    the 5* staff, the breakfast is great, the attention to detail that all share with us.
