"Fantastic see view. Great choice of wines in restaurant. Breakfast is fine. Nice walking area around. The only small issue is if you wish a sea view room, you have to accept the noise from beach toad (anyway not much disturbing if to close the balcony doors), but in this case you can choose a room with pool or city view. The staff is fine. In general good stay."

"This hotel is in the middle of a largely residential area but the rest of the island is easily accessible via Uber/Bolt taxis at very reasonable prices. We only had breakfast at the hotel which was very good with a full choice available. It is worthwhile walking around the districts adjoining the property where there are several villages wth small bars and restaurants . We found the local people to be very friendly. Many of the buildings are very historic and beautiful."
