The hotel was very clean and well maintained, staff were friendly and helpful. Also the room was spacious and comfortable. The downside to the hotel was the indoor pool was very small and had a cover over it so couldnt be used and the bar consisted of a couple of bottles of spirits. The breakfast was plentiful with the usual continental offerings.

Convenient location a short walk from the beach. Plenty of food options within walking distance and close to a regular small grocery and pharmacy for supplies if needed. The gym at the hotel was passable, not much options, and the pool was at the front of the property (due to location of where the sun sets, I'm assuming). Staff were generally friendly. We were quoted €70 for a taxi to the airport but used Uber and it was €38.

We've been going to this hotel for a number of years and it's always nice to see the same welcoming people at reception. The hotel is always kept in great condition and the included breakfast has gotten better. Great location, quiet with Spar right across the street.
