fantastic stay with a view!
large selectionquieter beachbeautiful viewsquick taxi
Breakfast had a large selection of food and drinks. the location was superb. A quick walk took me to a quieter beach with a lovely café nearby. the town center was only a twenty-minute walk and had beautiful ocean views. the train station was also a twenty-minute walk or a short taxi ride.
The hotel looked to need maintenance. I noticed it especially in some areas of my room.

the hotel provided easy access to a quieter beach area, ideal. a short stroll led directly to the town center, offering various shops and restaurants. public transportation was conveniently accessible, with the train station nearby.

the outdoor swimming pool looked clean and well kept. the hotel offered a traditional atmosphere and boasted amazing coastal views. i saw that the hotel provided easy access to the beach, located right next to the building.
Dining

Breakfast was very good. It offered a diverse selection of foods and beverages. freshly made food was constantly available. i noticed the dining room had some dirty windows, though the cleanliness of the cutlery was fine.

The hotel team members where really friendly and welcomed us good . The breakfast was cooked to order and came to the table hot and fresh. My room, room 215, had a very nice sea view with plenty of space for my needs.
The pool was very small and there was only a few tables on the terrace. The terrace area was also not very clean. My room did not have a fridge, this was not great for keeping drinks cool.

The outside pool was unheated, and that was a letdown (i really wanted a good swim). The jacuzzi was also out of action. I noticed damp marks on the walls. The hotel felt quite dated. The car park prices felt too high.
