- "Location was great. The cleanliness, quality and style of rooms were perfect for a mid week break. We didn’t use either of the swimming pools; however, they looked very clean and were heated. The restaurant food quality was very good and there seems to be a trend of non guests that visit the restaurant in the evening. Super close to the beach, a delightful indoor food market and an outside marché that happens every day. Bike hire €11 for a half day was very reasonable."
