Lovely quiet little hotel with a really good selection of food. Hotel staff were really friendly and super helpful, would definitely go again. The Strip, Old Town and Marina are all within a 10 minute Uber/Bolt journey, so it’s nice to spend the day in the busy touristy centre, then come back to a nice quiet area. The beach is also within a couple minutes walk from the hotel!!

Lo que más me ha gustado ha sido la playita que está a 5 minutos andando del hotel, es una maravilla y muy tranquila, el atardecer espectacular. En cuanto al hotel, un poco caro para el estado de las instalaciones, no cambiaron las toallas en los 4 días que estuvimos y solo nos pusieron una grande a pesar de ser dos personas. Camas cómodas y espaciosas y lugar tranquilo y agradable.

It was a good and comfortable stay. Clean pool and super close to nice beaches, great location. Because of covid it was very quiet and they will close soon for the season. Feels like lots of Brits come here normally. Recommend it!

Desconectar de la rutina

Es un hotel antiguo pero está muy limpio, los trabajadores son muy amables. La piscina está muy bien y lo mejor sin duda es la ubicación de dicho hotel. El barrio es muy tranquilo y las playas están muy cercas.
