  • Hi, do you have any free ocean view rooms?
    Because of our ideal location in the middle of the city center, the view from the rooms can be less. But when you sleep in our comfortable rooms you will not notice. For beautiful views, sunsets or ascents, you'll be on the beach, just 2 min. away.
