    We loved the apparent. It was super clean and beautifully decorated. Exactly as what is shown on the pictures. Stunning views and right on the beach front with lots of restaurants and shops nearby. The owners have put a lot of thought in all the amenities and there are lots of special touches and detail that made our stay even more special. We enjoyed our stay very much and will highly recommend it.

    Our Executive Ocean room was comfortable and clean (although it had only one chair - that being a desk chair). Bed very comfortable. Reception staff were very friendly, unlike the breakfast attendant. Hotel's location near to the Esplanade and attractive public seaside pool is a plus. Hotel's bar/restaurant location is scenic.
