Breakfast, served at the table, is a highlight, offering fresh, high-quality ingredients and a personal touch that sets it apart from the typical buffet.

The location is quite convenient. It is near the beach and a bus stop is in front of the building (it is really practical). I also appreciated the rooftop terrace. I enjoyed the friendly staff. They were always ready to help.
The air conditioning worked only with the key card inside the room.

i found the staff friendly they were always ready to help with directions and suggestions i really liked the rooftop terrace it offered great views and space to relax. the breakfast had a good selection i especially enjoyed the fresh fruit and pastries offered. the hotel's location was also excellent with a short walk to the beach
the room i stayed in felt quite small it was a bit cramped with my luggage. the walls needed some attention they had some marks and could use a fresh coat of paint. i found the soundproofing not great i could hear noise from other rooms and the hallway.
