    disappointing views
    limited variety

    Staying here offered a wonderful experience, especially the friendly staff and the great central location near the old town with plenty of restaurants. The pool was nice, but some rooms have disappointing views. Breakfast was decent, though it could use more variety. A pleasant trip.

    We explored the old town and visited a fine beach. The location is fantastic, right by the water, and the breakfast was really good. The rooms are modern and clean. There's a nice pool on site. Definitely recommend it for a fun group...
