We were welcomed by Deborah on our arrival and we found the whole team to be accommodating, welcoming and helped us with our language barrier. We recommend this hotel for sure but be prepared for the very tight car park lol!

Breakfast was outstanding, ample variety carefully prepared. Room was very appointed with balcony to rest. Staff went beyond expectation to make certain that we are in comfort.

Good value for money and good breakfast

Really comfortable and clean room with lots of options for breakfast and water fountain available all the time. The pool was nice and it was close to the beach. The parking outside the hotel was often full however there was free on street parking although this can get busy during the day with people going to the beach. There were lots of food options around and we enjoyed the breakfast there were lots of options!

Excellent and friendly staff that were very helpful. Beds are firm but all of Europe seems this way. Very convenient walk to the beach and access to a store for drinks and snacks and an ATM. Restaurants walkable as well. Best part was the staff!

Cold water machine often didn’t work. Too many steps with luggage. AC in room was often switched off by staff. Even at lowest temperature, room was too hot. No AC in rest of hotel. Did not remove dirty dishes from room nor give shampoo , soap etc regularly. Just seemed to leave a number of random bottles sometimes. Staff not particularly friendly nor helpful . Breakfast was good and pool was nice

Front desk lady was really nice, breakfast was good. Our room was cute and I loved the mural on the wall. Short walk to the beach which was nice. There were a few parking spaces but they were very small and tricky to manoeuvre. We used the laundry service for some of our clothes (they don’t do underwear) and it was done well but VERY expensive. Would stay there again

Personnel adorable, meilleur déjeuner du voyage, avec beaucoup de choix et un environnement de vacances ressenti. Possibilité de déjeuner intérieur ou extérieur avec vue sur la piscine qui était parfaite et très bien entretenue. Plusieurs coins dans l’hôtel bien rénovés et trës jolis où s’attabler ou flâner. Décoration au goût du jour,
