9.4/10 Exceptional! (64 reviews)
A wonderful boutique hotel that pays attention to the details that every on-the-go traveler hopes for in a hotel — efficient use of space in the rooms, lovely welcoming lobby with outdoor seating, and bright energetic staff. Great location! Quiet road tucked away from the coastline. Community 27 within 5 minute walk. I’d love to come back and stay longer !

Parking in the garage was a nightmare to find. Our room was on the first floor and outside there is a permit for DJs to play music until 1am. The front desk couldn’t move us as the hotel was full. It was loud and not peaceful. The beach is not free or included in your stay! Expect to pay about 25-30 euro to go on the beach. Some hotels list access some list fees. Call and double check all hidden fees before booking.
