Honestly the rooms are excellent, but the amazing thing about it is the location, yiu pretty much walk to the main hotspots. The breakfast is good, does the job with plenty of options. If not for a few imperfections, the place is almost a 5 star hotel in terms of its facilities. Almost forgot to mention, the view from our room, facing the sea was exceptional!!!!!

On my birthday, they sent me a „Happy birthday“ ...
