My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was clean and modern, with a comfy bed, but there were a few marks on the wallpaper that weren't the hotel's fault. On the other hand, the free shower and clothes changing facilities before my flight were convenient, but the noise from the nightclub across the street on my second visit was a downside.

Location

The location was good, just a 5-minute walk from Santa Maria Beach. Being close to restaurants and the beach made everything even better, though the noise at night affected my rest.

Dining

The dining experience had its highs and lows. The spread included a variety of options including cereals, bread, pancakes, ham, cheese, omelettes, and more, but some items like the coffee weren't impressive.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The location was perfect for exploring the nearby beaches and shops. The rooms were clean, modern, and spacious, but I wished for a balcony overlooking the pool. The service was excellent, with friendly staff who even made me a delicious omelette. Sadly, the dining options were basic, and the facilities could be improved.
