Everything in the hotel is brand new – bright, modern, and includes a kitchenette for self-catering.
The beach and several restaurants are just a 2-minute walk away, and a supermarket can be reached in only 10 minutes on foot.

Beautiful modern rooms. Lovely reception and housekeeping staff. Located near a nice quiet beach resort which is only a 3 minute walk.
The hotel is located towards the bottom of a hill so it may not be suitable for those who are less mobile or elderly.
Nice places to eat out - especially for fresh fish and meat dishes.
Would definitely recommend.

We enjoyed our stay at the Navigator. Anderson at the front desk was very pleasant and really helpful. The location was perfect to the beach and restaurants. Rooms are very new and clean. The only glitch was intermittent wifi.
