"This is definitely not a 4 star hotel! The outside looks terrible, so old, paint is peeling off, looks unattractive and unattended. The hotel is called Cormoran or something like that, it was hard to locate, we had to go in and ask at the front desk. The room is so small, fits a queen bed and a twin with a nightstand room in between in each direction, does not have a mini fridge, the A/C wasn’t working, we had to sleep with our windows open, which faced the street and it was very loud from...

You'll find a mix of villas, holiday homes, and a couple of hotels tucked away just behind the main beach access points.

This area is particularly good for families due to the nature of the beach. The water is incredibly calm and shallow for a considerable distance, making it ideal for children to play in. There are also facilities for renting sun loungers and parasols, and often paddle boats or kayaks, providing easy entertainment right on your doorstep.
