Super nice place, clean and in a good location. 10 mins walk from the coast, next to some free parking streets, as pregnant women, I can easily go back to hotel and take some rest when the weather is too hot or bad etc. They have a pool and it’s clean and good temperature. The staffs are very friendly, they provide good selection of food for breakfast, and the room always being cleaned nicely. Very good job. Sometimes there is a friendly cat Lily wondering around in the hotel area, which was a joy to us. We enjoyed our 7 days stay here, and look forward to come back with our baby in future.
