    Pros +

    • We liked to have the good breakfast outside, which was a bit chilly in the morning (heating would have been available in the room, but it was not that cold to switch it on).And of course we enjoyed the sea view on the terrace/balcony.Very friendly stuff and good location. Parking was easy to find in the area.
    • Great location, amazing view from the terrace where you have breakfast, good value for money.
    • Location. Lovely room with a beautiful patio and outdoor seating. Great view. Great breakfast. Nice staff. Safe clean and comfy! I will return!!

    Cons -

    • During summer it might be nice to have a fridge in the room.
    • Very very noisy making it hard to sleep early at night or late in the mornings. There were stains in a few places in the room. We could not open our only and small window since it opened directly on the kitchen fan from the restaurant so our room would smell like food in a minute.
    • Lots of stairs but that’s normal in Europe. No elevator.

    The view is magnificient. This is the first reason we booked it.The breakfast was also good for the price. The cleaning lady came everyday. Great location.

    8Francisco J.Posted on: 8-25-2025

    The matress was super comfortable. The breakfast was also fabulous and they offered a great variety of options. The personnel was also quite helpful.

    Unfortunately, our views were not great. Apparently, here are only 2 rooms without views over the see and I got one of them. Also, the air conditioning was installed. Fortunately, the nights were cool.

    10ChafekarPosted on: 8-17-2025

    This beachfront property is an absolute gem! The staff were all so friendly and helpful. Our room was bright and airy with a view to the ocean and a beautiful public swimming pool. The breakfasts and dinner we had there were great and it’s so nice to dine oceanside. It’s easy to get here from the airport and the value is so much better than many other places on the island.

    You will need to park a few blocks from the hotel on a public street or lot so be prepared to tote your baggage.

    Amazing staff Great breakfast Very recommended Optional:Surfing lessons with the best Instructirs

    7RachellePosted on: 4-27-2025

    The view from the balcony was incredible and having drinks right by the water at the hotel restaurant was a great way to end the day (although they did not have poncha...).

    Expensive for what it is (small room, no fridge).

    10AndrewPosted on: 4-14-2025

    A really great little boutique hotel in an excellent location right on the beach front with super friendly staff. A gem of a find and great value for money.

    9TimPosted on: 3-19-2025

    View from balcony was absolutely stunning, a joy to wake up to every morning. Staff is super friendly, familiar, and polite.

    8OleksandrPosted on: 3-4-2025

    Ocean view, good location, breakfasts, staff, room itself.

    We stayed for 2 nights and there were no hot water at all on the second night. This was a major disappointment for us. We were unable to take a shower. Hot water is essential.

    8MariePosted on: 2-23-2025

    Location perfect close to the sea

    Very noisy in the morning. The room ladies were very loud before breakfast.

    5IvanaPosted on: 2-22-2025

    The breakfast was excellent, and the hotel's location was great.

    Hotel had issues with hot water, and there was no one willing to communicate with us or resolve the problem.

    10AdrianaPosted on: 2-16-2025

    simple room with everything i needed. it was warm (february) and i had a beautiful view to the sea!! breakfast was included and delicious! great service too, it was no problem to check out a bit later. and i could also use the small kitchen!

    8SimonePosted on: 2-10-2025

    Great breakfast for a 2 star hotel.Great sea viewFriendly staff

    A little maintenance needed in shower & around the room. Nothing to worry about but could have been routinely fixed.

    10YasmeenPosted on: 1-30-2025

    Really comfy hotel, with nice view, surf school next to entrance, cleaning daily and wonderful cleaning ladies and whole personel. Highly recommend!

    9Evajg1Posted on: 1-28-2025

    Very cozy village, clean room, a big bed and a very nice terrace with a wonderful view of the ocean. Very nice and helpful staff. Breakfast was simple but enough to choose what to eat.

    The room is a bit old and should be renovated.

    8ViktoriiaPosted on: 12-11-2024

    Very good breakfast! Super view!

    Better booking room with sea view, because in room with windows to another side you can hear restaurants conditioner mornings and evenings.

    10RemigioPosted on: 12-10-2024

    super cozy room, extremely valuable cleanliness and top location. everything at this hotel is super charming. I've just opened booking to put my first recommendation on any hotel I've been to. It has been so good I highly recommend it.

    9HannechalkPosted on: 12-7-2024

    We stayed in room 103 - a beautiful view of the ocean and the bay. It was such a great sound to hear the waves crashing on the rocks when getting to sleep and waking up.The room was big enough for the two of us, and has a lovely balcony. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. There is a TV, hospitality tray, small fridge, tower fan and plenty of storage. The staff were very nice and friendly apart from one. Food in the restaurant was also nice.

    The mosquitos feasted on me - I had about 20 bites, and that was with repellent. Not the hotel's fault obviously. The young lady at breakfast is in the wrong job. Didn't see her smile once whilst we were there, and she was abrasive when asked questions. She might just not be a morning person.
