Bar and restaurant is excellent - the breakfast bagel especially! Staff were amazing; at reception, at the bar, and with the beach umbrellas. Loved it.

Location is amazing as well as rooftop bar and ground floor restaurant they have spectacular views. Breakfast was lovely and staff was extremely helpful and kind. Rooms were clean and generally the hotel is kept up to a very good cleaning standard across the premises.

France1 review“Even if we were disappointed by the room, we would definitely recommend this hotel for its atmosphere and location!”We were sleeping in a street view room on the first floor which was very very noisy because of the street. We asked to change the room but no one came back to us and offered to switch room. Very few people from the staff (restaurant, rooftop) spoke English.
Amazing location, the rooftop and the view were incredible. The atmosphere and the hotel are very nice, and the breakfast/food were very good.

We loved everything about this property. Every staff member we encountered was very friendly and professional. The location is perfect and the property itself is beautiful. Loved the rooftop deck and bar, and the restaurant - inside and on the patio. When we visited, the A/C was out in the rooms, and they offered to cancel free of charge or give us a 30% discount. We took the discount. The room temperature was actually pretty comfortable even though it was hot outside. Highly highly recommend this place!!
