In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Excellent comfort — Guests rate comfort a perfect 10, and rooms score 8.9 — a strong sign of a restful stay.
  • Friendly staff — Staff rating is 9.4, well above the property's overall 8.8, suggesting attentive and welcoming service.
  • Beach amenities included — Guests get beach access, umbrellas, and sun loungers without extra planning — a practical perk for a coastal stay.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Facilities score is modest — The facilities rating sits at 6.6, the lowest category, so on-site amenities are limited beyond the basics.
  • Distance from the main square — The hotel is 3.3 km from Custom's Square, so you'll need a short drive or taxi to reach the historic center.
  • No pets allowed — If you're traveling with an animal, this isn't the place — the policy is strictly no pets.
