I liked that it's accessible to the beach across the street. It was a better experience than when I reserved at another hotel a year ago. It has a very Asian/Greek/morrocan/tropical influence, which is a bit confusing because when you look at the hotel - its Spanish architecture. It would be nice ...

We thought the hotel had a great location-in the middle of everything. We enjoyed just sitting out on the balcony and looking at the beach. We were able to walk to a lot of things.

The cottage itself was lovely, very private with a feeling of seclusion, ...
