"The hotel is a bit dated and could do with a renovation/ modernisation. Otherwise its clean and spacious. The beds were inconsistent in comfort. We were in the quadruple bed room and half the bed were so old it squeaked when you roll over in your sleep, and the mattress was so uncomfortable that I didn't get to sleep much all night."

"This hotel far exceeded our expectations. We had fabulous views of the sea from our very clean room. The beach was much closer than it seemed looking from maps as there is a door on the backside of the property that puts you half way down the street leading to the beach, chiringuitos and shops. Breakfast was a normal European continental style meal. Will recommend this place to friends!"
