8/10 Very good! (1,735 reviews)
"Safe, location. The stairs to second floor are few. Clean rooms. No iron, need to ask for it at front desk, which is far away from where I was room 250. Quiet room. Will stay again. Pool looks lovely. Great location if visiting the best beach on earth. Lovely town. Near everything."
