"Excellent surroundings - a lot of shadow, a lot of sun beds right next to the ocean - great! Good restaurant with nice place to sit and chill whole day. :)
Rooms location is strange as it faces parking, not nice to spend time there, but rooms inside are clean and comfortable.
The main drawback - NO POOL. The hotel is located in place with no beach, so at low tide you are not able to swim.
Location of the hotel is in the middle of nowhere, no option for short walk etc."
