7.4Verified guest“Rooms were tidy, staff attentive, and the beach was easily accessible. The location felt quiet, and the restaurant prices were fair with good vegetarian choices.”
7.4Verified guest“The hotel grounds are elegant and well-suited for a beach day: loungers, tables, shades, and even Wi-Fi on the sand. A taxi called by reception arrived in a couple of minutes.”
7.4Verified guest“A small, friendly hotel right on the beach. Restaurant staff were especially helpful, and some spoke English. Rooms were good quality, though as is common in the area, don't count on hot water in the shower. The beach access was excellent, with useful tent shades, warm sea, and a lively local atmosphere during New Year. Several trips were offered at reasonable prices.”
