Cons:
Suggest adding sheer curtains for greater privacy while still providing light,
Place a liquid soap dispenser by bathtub and sink, needed to take from the shower
The room was outstanding. Clean, bright, great view over the bay and spacious. It was very quiet and peaceful. Had the best sleeps ever.
The staff were exceptional. Perez greeted us with a warm welcome and was so helpful suggesting what we should do, eat and see during our visit. Clinton made sure we found the facilities we needed and I am so sorry we didn't get the name if the lovely lady who chatted to us on check out, but thank you to them. The housekeeping staff did a lovely job of making our room newly freshened when we returned each day.
The hotel offers spacious, well-appointed suites with terraces and sea views at a very reasonable price. There are numerous small shops, bars, and restaurants within walking distance, and the beach is just 50 meters away. The parking is conveniently located directly under the building, and the staff is incredibly helpful (thanks to Michelle and the whole team!).
A stay here easily justifies a full week, but we unfortunately only had three days. We will definitely return, even though coming from Austria is a bit of a journey!
