Guest UserQuite an unexpected surprise! I originally went because of the location. It's on the beach and relatively affordable, so I didn't have high expectations. But as soon as I entered the room, I found that it was clean and tidy, and the bathroom and facilities were not inferior to other hotels!

Humberto's service is very patient and thoughtful, and the recommended restaurants around are particularly good. The room is elegantly decorated, but the bathroom lighting is dim. The bedding is very comfortable.

Pretty good! This price is afraid of not being clean
The result was not expected to be super clean 😆
CP value is very high, although cheap, but completely worth the price
Hot water comes slower but the water pressure is enough

Very distinctive seaside resort hotel. The decoration is full of Spanish home features, the corridors and front desk are full of various antiques collected by the director, including tea sets, books and decorations. Across the road from the sea, several restaurants can be found within five minutes.
