    Beautiful seaside location.

    The hotel in general could use some renovation but in total we loved our stay here.

    Amazing view to the ocean, loved the indoor wellness area. Beautiful location between the sea and the mountains. Nice rooms.

    There was no room service or open restaurant in the hotel and nearby after 10PM. There was no coffee machine or kettle in the room or accessible in the hotel. The indoor swimming pool and sauna was not good.

    The room was so close to the beach, and I was able to hear the voice of the waves all the time. The view was great and the access was great.

    This is a nice place, it is being honest about 3 stars, it's almost 4 due to the pool and lovely staff but the place is a little tired.

    Staff were very friendly. We tried the buffet for dinner which was surprisingly good. Great location with views over the ocean. It has an indoor pool and outdoor pool (which I'd not realised when I booked). We would come here again, good value.

    The breakfast wasnt that great.

    Spacious room, easy to park, it's by the sea so we had a lovely sea view. We didnt try to access the beach. There are indoor and outdoor pools but we didnt use both as the weather wasn't great.

    - Pool towels require a (cash-in) deposit of 10€ each, I imagine to avoid theft - One of the lights in our room was flickering / not working well

    - Staff were very kind and helpful - Breakfast with a lot of variety - Indoor swimming pool - You sleep hearing the waves / sea - Rooms were very clean - Several Parking spaces outside - Access to the outside / beach directly from the room - Great value - Dining option available

    The bathroom had a bad ventilation system. The bed base might need to be changed soon. Was no window what we could open during the night. But overall, it was a lovely stay. We will definitely be back soon.

    Lovely hotel, grate customer service, nice sauna, swimming pool, and jacuzzi. Good breakfast and very good dinner. Very helpful staff. Great location for those who want to have a relaxing stay by the sea without distraction. We loved the voice of the sea during the nights. It was very nice to fall asleep.

    The jacuzzi did not operate when we were there, and some warm water would feel good during the bad weather. The corridors to the rooms seemed like we were in a hospital a bit. The design of the restaurant was a bit old, but it still was nice

    Amazing location and view for the ocean. The room was modern and clean. Helpful crew. The weather was bad, but we could see amazing waves on the ocean.

    We didn’t eat at the hotel restaurant because diner started at 7, which was to late for our little one.

    We really liked the junior suite room we booked. We got the room with the big windows and the perfect ocean view. Especially when travelling with a younger child this room was really nice to stay in.

    The Wi-Fi has not good. Even Instagram was lagging . The coffee included with the breakfast was bad. We asked for the coffee from the espresso machine for extra. Breakfast was ok. The sausages were not good. TV sound is not good. Bring your Bluetooth speaker or tablet if you want to watch something.

    Amazing location literally between mountain and ocean. The breakfast had fresh fruit. The bread quality was very good. The shower is spacious and very nice. Air con is great. Big windows. Think curtains. Clean pool area with a loot of room and spectacular views.

    Our room was too hor. It had AC but it didn’t feel like it was blowing cold air at all. Probably because the room is bathed by the sun for most of the day.

    The pool by the sea is really great. The rooms are modern and clean.
