I really loved staying here. Sarah at the front desk was so kind and helpful and the location was amazing. The room was large and super clean. The free lido across the street was fabulous. My only negative was that on Friday night the club nearby was so loud that even with all the windows shut, I could not sleep until they shut down which was past 1 in the morning.

Very nice family run hotel in a great location. Close for walking to old town in 15 minutes. We had a large room with private balcony and partial ocean view. Easy to park in their large lot. You get free beach chairs and towels included at a very nice beach across the street and use of the swimming pool at a neighboring hotel. The breakfast buffet was wonderful with all sorts of options including three kinds of eggs, cereals, yogurts, cheeses, meats, juices, croissants, etc, etc A great place for us.
