The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were a little old fashioned and smaller than expected, leading to discomfort during the night due to the heat. However, the service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff, though there was a slight issue with a smell in the main entrance. The location was beautiful with sea views and nearby dining options. The dining experience varied from very poor to excellent. Overall, a stay with some highlights and drawbacks.
