Good location
The hotel is well located. Close to the beach and the old town. It has parking and a pool and bar. The rooms are large but very dated and the bathroom is tiny.
The location and parking suited our purpose on this trip.

The room (1 bed apartment) was very spacious and clean, I couldnt believe how big it was. And the kitchen was well equipped. The location was fantastic and I didnt use the bar but it looked like it had a good offering. My only complaint was the cleaners werent as discrete as they could have been and i felt like they'd gone through my things everyday. But i would definitely stay there again

Good location, close to the beach with plenty of places to eat and drink nearby.
The only thing to note is the parking — if you plan to use the hotel’s underground car park, check it out before paying, as the space is quite tight, especially for rental cars. We had a small car and still struggled a bit, and saw others having difficulty too.

Good location for a couple of nights
We stayed here for 2 nights and was in a prime location for what we wanted. Clean spacious room and great staff. The bar and pool area was nice. Compared to some of the four star hotels we have stayed in, this 3 star hotel is better.

Great area, 2 mins from the boardwalk and marina, many shops within 10 min radius walking. Hotel is aging, and there aren’t modern amenities like usb plug ins, or in room coffee, but the staff are friendly, the pool is clean, and the price was right.
