I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which offers a lovely view of the sea and a peaceful environment. The rooms were kept clean and received fresh towels daily. However, I noticed that they could use some updating and adding tea and coffee facilities would have made my stay even better. The dining choices were decent but didn't change much throughout my stay. Overall, it felt like good value for money, especially given the beautiful beach access.

The hotel has a lovely location with beautiful views out to sea and plenty of sun beds on the private beach, which I really appreciated. However, the rooms are quite basic and definitely need updating, plus adding some tea and coffee making facilities would be a nice touch since they aren't close to any bars or restaurants. Overall, it's a decent place but there's room for improvement.

I stayed at this hotel during September and found it to be quite comfortable, although I wasn't thrilled with the 'king-size' bed since it was actually two twins pushed together, creating an uncomfortable crack. The room definitely needs updating. However, the location is fantastic with beautiful mountain and sea views, plus it's right on the beach with plenty of sun beds and parasols. It’s a solid option for those looking for a beach getaway with some minor drawbacks.
