My stay at the hotel was great! The rooms were spacious, very comfortable, and very clean, although mine overlooked the busy coast road and delivery access. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff always going the extra mile. The location was peaceful, but a bit outside the city center, a 20-minute walk away. The dining offered plenty of choices, although the breakfast options were not exceptional. The facilities were fantastic, especially the pool area.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were incredibly comfortable, complete with a nice kitchen, huge balcony, superb sea views, and even 2 toilets, which was just perfect. The location was ideal, just a 10-minute walk to the city center, offering stunning views of the bay and city. The dining experience was exceptional, with a splendid choice of fresh fruits, sausages, toasts, local delicacies, and more, prepared specially for us. The facilities were fantastic, meeting all my needs during the stay.

I had a delightful stay at the hotel with great views of the sea from the room. The housekeepers did an excellent job keeping the rooms tidy, although there was a minor issue with the air conditioning in one of the bedrooms. The bathroom with a jacuzzi bathtub and a well-equipped kitchen added to the comfort, and the presence of 2 TVs was a nice touch.
