    Pros +

    • Location right on beach, beautiful view, opened door to unit and walked out into garden and then to beach. Sound of waves so relaxing. Wish we had stayed longer here!
    • Impeccably clean and lovely. Terrific hosts!
    • Well equipped facility in a nice seaside setting

    Cons -

    • No It was great!
    • That I choose to leave.
    • Ground-floor rooms have have an inferior sea-view and suffer from noise from the apartment above ( insufficient sound-proofing). No aircon and opening windows on ground floor raise security. Not best value considering what we paid but overall we enjoyed our stay.

    Location seafront, but water there is very murky, so inly good for walks.

    No power sockets near bed. That is the main drawback.

    9AaronPosted on: 11-20-2025

    Great location right on the beach. Amazing views and lovely hot tub in the garden with views of the sea. BBQ and bar area on the beach was also great

    No air conditioning.

    We booked at the last minute so had to take a room overlooking the parking lot and road. We could see that there were really nice rooms available so if returning we would try to book one of those. To be fair our room was cheaper and was perfectly adequate.

    Beach access and view were excellent. Very clean version of an old style hotel.

    Immaculate grounds, beach access just outside your door, bar b q, hot tub, loungers, great staff

    9RoyPosted on: 2-26-2025

    Everybody was helpful and friendly. The accommodation was comfortable, but the location was outstanding. We arrived very late and I woke early the following morning, stepped out onto the balcony and witnessed a glorious sunrise.I walked into town, which was about a forty minute trip. The seafront and promenade is beautiful.The walk back along the beach, and the walk to the other end of the bay gave different but equally stunning vistas.Sitting on the sunbeds,right on the front edge of the lawn, was like heaven on earth. We could have stayed forever.

    Great beach access, brilliant outdoor spa pool and shower

    As above

    7BarbPosted on: 2-21-2025

    Beautiful beach and views

    No air conditioning, and no screens on door and windows. You open the windows to get fresh air and the bugs would fly in!!! No dishwasher.

    Location was very good. Staff friendly. Room clean and spacious.

    The noise all night from pressure tanks outside room 7 kept us awake.

    Amazing view, clean apartment...spa pool was an absolute delight.

    The people in the top apartment were inconsiderate in what sounded like moving furniture around. Absolutely terrible guests and completely outside of the control of the property owners.

    Well-equipped and comfortable. Spotlessly clean. Stunning beach location with beautiful beachside garden and bbq area. A wonderful and relaxing place

    10JoePosted on: 10-10-2024

    The cleanliness here is the highest among all the hotels I’ve stayed at—note: the very best, without exception. Every detail, from the nooks and crannies to each piece of cutlery, plate, and even glassware, is spotless, without a single fingerprint. The hotel’s front may be unremarkable, but the back garden opens up to a stunning beach with a breathtaking ocean view. They offer single kayaks and life vests. We love it here and highly recommend it!
