A good place to recommend it!

First We like the person at the reception, she was very friendly and with a big smile. Then, the rooms they were very comfortable, with all kind of facilities. And finally, they borrow you so much things for free (bicicles, beach chairs, towels, bags, boardgames etc). In conclusion, we were very happy there!

Nothing. All good, perfect.

The location was perfect as we came for a wedding. The beach is at your door step, right next door and the room was amazing. We had the king bed with balcony. The Nescafe coffee pod machine was an awesome too.

Everything was amazing, there was nothing not to like.
