"Buena ubicación e calidad. El hotel se encuentra en un punto muy cómodo para poder ir a la playa o en frente en los chiringuitos o restaurantes a tomar algo .encontramos aparcamiento fácil sin pagar. Lo único un poco incómodo para dejar las maletas si llegas del lado paseo marítimo porque hay que subir muchas escaleras. Conviene dejar el coche en la calle de arriba. El hotel bonito con habitaciones cómodas con su balconcito. Frigo . AC. Lo único que la habitación olía a tabaco mucho. Hemos pedido cambiarla porque además la queríamos con dos camas individuales pero no nos la cambiaron . Por el resto perfecto . Aunque creo que todo hotel de esa zona deberían tener piscinas propia, visto que la playa no es el máximo. Muchas rocas y las hojas hacen resaca y se vuelve peligroso bañarse"
