Staff was courteous, bedding had a mark on it. Shower had hair in it. I didnt complain as we were only staying a night, it was just a bed for the night and shower. Room floor was also dirty

Lovely hotel in a great location by the Mediterannean but with an easy stroll into the city restaurants before and after dinner. We're booking again for Spring 2026 and this time I plan to use the Spa as well as the lovely outdoor pool!
