    Value for money

This hotel was cute, I loved its terrific location and staff. They made my stay very very good.

Unfortunately Wi-Fi was bad.

I loved impeccable service and will come back. Immaculate room, free breakfast and top location. Exceptional view, a good balcony, big bed, too. There was a nice restaurant and a super staff. Choosing for lunch Gw Fins, which is situated 300 metres away was a good idea. It had amazing swimming pool too.

Amazing service, very kind staff, top location. The staff did all they can for a great stay. The room I booked was common with a balcony, comfortable beds, for instance. The mixed drinks in outdoor bar were very welcome. No complains at all, I enjoyed this hotel and do recommend.
