Quiet room and nicely decorated with comfortable furnishings. The hotel is just outside the center of town and back from the beach, but very walkable to both. Would happily stay here again

Mostly everyting about it was nice. The kitchenette was a bit too small thoughfor cooking. For us, a small airfryer would've been better than the electric frying pan. The receptionist was frienfly. 9/10
