The property location was nice with a beautiful, but rugged walking trail that eventually meets the boardwalk. The room/apartment was average in all respects.

We stayed as a family of 5 for a night in transit to Spain. The property is a clean, lovely and quite well maintained. The washroom and kitchen are a little dated but well kept. Lots of restaurants within a few min drive. Beach is a 10 min walk. Ocean view was lovely. We enjoyed the stay.

Very average accommodation
Basic hotel accommodation but well located. Our room required some maintenance during our 4 day stay. Took two requests to have these items corrected. Beds were hard. Wifi worked well. This was our second time staying at this facility but we won’t stay again. Not well managed in my opinion.

Had a lovely stay in a superior two bed townhouse with sea view. Apartment was spacious, clean (cleaned every day) and comfortable and had everything you need including air con, fly screens across the windows / patio doors, dishwasher, freezer and lovely powerful hot showers. Both the downstairs patio and the roof terrace had tables and chairs and sunbeds - the rooftop terrace being private and out of sight of neighbours. The hotel is well situated for a short easy walk into town. Unusually for us we ate three nights in the hotel restaurant as it was so good - fantastic quality food plus such friendly service and nice ambience. The hotel grounds are well kept with lots of attractive plants and trees and there’s plenty of parking. My only improvement suggestion would be more comfortable patio chairs!

On site restaurant and pool side bar had excellent food for dinner. Service and staff were outstanding!!!!! Location is tucked away and quiet despite “family friendly” so we enjoyed quiet sunrises and sunsets on the patio overlooking the sea. Apartment was roomy enough (2 bedrooms) and a family could have had a person stay on the couch in the loft as well. Rooftop terrace was private and had a great view. Our Al fresco meal out there with local cheese and meats we bought at market was one of our favorite evenings.

Good location, several grocery options nearby. Bathroom in our unit was small, even by european standards. A nice touch would be to provide a few more basics, like paper towels and a small container of laundry detergent.
