    Due to the location from around 7.30am its not the quietest place. Delivery vans beach cleans dog walkers. None of which is the hotels fault at all just the location.

    Location is brilliant right on the beach front. The views are beautiful looking out on to the beach and sea. Rooms are spacious and recently updated.

    Whatever you do, do not stay in 406 - they started moving heavy furniture around above us at 11pm and continued until 1. Plus the thumping bar music coming down the stairs. Cleaning in bathrooms requires bleach - black mould is an abomination and would never be allowed in my home.

    Position on the beach, the view and the sound of the waves.

    There was a strange "sulphur" odour in our room when we arrived. We opened the balcony door and it seemed to dissipate. Each time we came back to the room after it had been locked up the odour was back and seemed to linger around the patio door area until we opened the patio door. Not terribly offensive but I mention this anyway. There were no tissues in the bathroom. We asked the front desk thinking the maid forgot to leave a box and were told they only provide toilet paper. We thought this was strange.

    The room was nice, clean and spacious. We had a lovely sea view and large balcony. The location was central - close to the old town and it was easy to get around for walking, shopping, dining, and hikes. The breakfast options were good and the staff in the dining room were very helpful and accommodating. The beach is large and beautiful with lots of chairs and activities close by.

    The beds were quite hard and it would have been nice to have a coffee in the room before breakfast. Only one non caffeinated capsule was provided.

    Excellent views!

    The pool was a little underwhelming as it was right next to the bar, separated with a glass door so felt a little awkward but the hotel overall is amazing.

    The hotel is lovely, perfect location as it has direct access to the beach. The room was beautiful and clean with a big balcony facing the sea. The staff was lovely and so helpful, especially Elza at reception. I would recommend this hotel.

    It was strange that coffee patrons weren’t provided every day. Why even have a machine in the bedroom?

    The location was the best. The breakfast was very good and the views were stunning.

    No issues with our stay at all, the only thing you need to be aware of is that the expectation of you to be quiet when you get back to your room, which again is more than fair.

    Staff were very clear with us on arrival the expectations of our party to be considerate as this was a quieter area of town, we had no issues with our stay and felt we were treated more than fairly, location is ideal and right by the beach, breakfast was great and the staff were a pleasure!

    The only wonder I have is why they don't refresh the room coffee?! We stayed 4 nights and were not permitted more coffee. We went to the store down the street, but still, an adults on 5 star accommodation can refresh the coffee?!

    The hotel does not have car parking which we knew, and provided the location, about 1/4 mile walking, for a free parking lot. A minor whine is you have to pay $1.75 euros each for additional coffee pods (we got a total of 5 ‘free’) after paying almost $1400 total for two rooms, 5 people, for 3 nights. Seems like you should get 5 per day no charge.

    Excellent Location on the beach and amazing views from the balcony. The hotel feels fresh and updated. Great showers!
