I had a good experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfy, and I loved having a little kitchenette and a peaceful terrace overlooking the pool. The staff was friendly, but it was a bit of a hassle with our luggage getting soaked when our hire car arrived late. The location is nice for a quiet getaway, but you’ll need a car since public transport isn’t great here. Overall, it’s a decent choice for a relaxing stay.
