The hotel is in a wonderful location, just a moderate walk to the town center and not too far from the beach. The rooms are spacious and modern with a large shower cubicle in a recently refurbished bathroom, and they offer tea and coffee facilities. The service is top-notch, from the efficient and friendly waiter to the excellent management and the quick and effective cleaners. The location offers easy access to both the beach and the city center. The dining experience, although included, could improve with a larger variety of side dishes.
