Lovely Refurbished Hotel

great location fine view refurbished room gorgeous bed

I stayed four nights here. The location is great for restaurants and bars open on the main road. The breakfast room offers a fine view. The recently refurbished rooms and bar area are great. I have already booked for next year.

The rooms were a little dark due to the dark blue paint used. The new modern look of the rooms more than made up for it.

free upgrade helpful staff wide selection daily cleaning

I received a complimentary room upgrade upon arrival. The breakfast offered a wide selection of items and fresh orange juice. The staff was helpful and amiable throughout my stay. If you opt out of daily room cleaning, you get a €5 voucher for the bar.

I found the pool area a little cramped when all the sunbeds were in use.
