Had a lovely time. Staff, friendly and helpful. Room very clean, loved the shower. Much better than a 3 star. Swimming pools good, plenty of sunbeds any time of the day. Location is great, a 15 minute walk to the Marina, well worth a visit. 3-5 minutes to main supermarket, restaurants, bars and cafes. Short walk to the beach, plenty of sunbeds, you have to pay for them. Great bars and restaurants along the sea front. Very pleased with our lovely little holiday. Definitely would recommend and would return.
Perfect location for us. Would not be suitable for those with limited mobility, small children or low fitness as is up a very steep hill. Hotel is very clean, basic but well kept. Felt very safe and secure as 2 females. Quiet at night despite our room overlooking road, would recomemd not paying for pool view as its quiter, balcony no smaller, and you get to see wonderful sunrise each morning. Breakfast was always fresh and hot, with a good choice, and never felt overly busy. Only downside was lack of late checkout. There is a luggage room, although perhaps not as well organised as other hotels, and the shower room is poorly ventilated ao I came out sweating more after my shower. Staff were friendly and helpful, and willing to answer any questions etc. We would definately stay agsin

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great hotel – lovely week!
Last day here today after spending a week at this lovely hotel, and we’ve had a fantastic stay!
The hotel is spotlessly clean throughout, very welcoming, and all the staff are friendly and helpful. There are lovely sunbathing areas with lots of sunbeds and plenty of space, which is a real bonus.
The food was really nice with a good variety. It was occasionally a little cold, but there’s a microwave available, so easily sorted.
The location is great, although the area is quite hilly, so just something to keep in mind. Our room was spotless and we had a lovely pool view, which was an added bonus.
It’s also not far from Bonanza Square and the harbour, which is beautiful and definitely worth a visit.
A special mention to Irene in the massage gazebo — I had an amazing deep-tissue massage and felt fantastic afterwards. Highly recommend her! 💆♀️
Overall, we’ve had a brilliant week and would definitely recommend this hotel. ❤️☀️
