Clean room, and great staff. Wonderful pool area. The location is great, a few minutes walk to the beach, restaurants and bars. However it is loud at night. I used ear plugs and white noise and was able to sleep, however during on peak months I can imagine it is very loud, but perfect hotel if you do want to go out and enjoy the night life

Never used the Spa and it was still a bit chilly in February to go swimming, although the pool looked great. Room was lovely with safe, coffee machine & balcony. There was a hairdryer, steam iron, slippers & dressing gown in the room too. Reception staff were fantastic and the issue with the sink plug was promptly dealt with. They also helped arrange a tour for us, contacted our shuttle service & even provided us with take-away breakfast as we had an early flight.

Lovely clean hotel, close to the beach and centre of old town. Yara Costa and other staff at the hotel were wonderful and so pleasant. Only thing I would say is that if you’re a light sleeper then this isn’t a hotel for you, the bars are quite loud and until early hours of the morning. But the hotel can not be faulted, very clean and a comfortable.
