Very pleasant 4 star hotel with comfortable large beds and good sized rooms. Hotel rooms are beginning to be a little dated with no remote control of the A/C and the wall control taped up to prevent changes of the mode or set a sleep timer. Bathroom was large but also in need of an update. Hotel is well situated for both beaches and a short walk from the main pedestrianised restaurant and bar areas. Or room was very quiet but roadside rooms may be noisier

I liked the property overall. The room was spacious and there were a lot of drawers and storage space, which are important to me. The bathroom was spacious and had nice amenities. I appreciated the robe. The pool area was very enjoyable. Most of the personnel were very friendly - with the exception of the person who checked us in. She was not welcoming and was unhelpful. The bartender was extremely welcoming and personable. (Sorry, don't recall his name.) Breakfast was very good. Would stay again.

Like the bed and bathroom, roomy and quiet. Sauna and jacuzzi reqire reservation and not available if someone books before you. Not really able to use the pool because we stayed at the nice beach out in town, very clean water and so close to the hotel. So, overall, just used the room to sleep. We Should have booked a much cheaper hotel in town since we went out all day and went out eat and shopping until dark. Hotel front desk and workers are nice, though. No complaint.
