"Location for the beach and the old town was great. Only 15 mins to the entrance but it's another 15mins to the end of the old town so you will walk 25-30 mins back in the evenings most evenings. But the location to the beach and the walk everyday more than makes up for this. Breakfast was great - good mix of hot and continental. Really good quality scrambled eggs. Limited lunch and dinner options for vegetarians but plenty of great food options in the old town. Rooms were comfortable and cleaned daily to a high standard."

"Wish we had stayed longer as we really enjoyed the stay! Great view from our room and was close to everything we needed. Be mindful you will need to carry your luggage from the nearest gate to the hotel as it is in the old town where cars are not permitted. We were surprised to find our room walls outfitted with mirrors, which was low key kind of a vibe. Enjoy."
