the hotel is close to the town center and near one of the best beaches. its proximity to the fisherman's trail made it an ideal starting point (i think it was the perfect choice). parking was easy, both in the garage and outside.

free parking gluten-free options faulty dumbbells expensive minibar

The breakfast buffet had many choices including gluten-free options. The hotel provided underground parking and it was free. I stayed for several nights and had no issues with my vehicle. The hotel is close to a large beach and some excellent cliffs.

The gym equipment was not adequate because it had limited free weights. The dumbbells were faulty and the weights kept falling off, posing a safety hazard. I also found the minibar prices expensive because a bottle of water cost €2.50.

Acceptable Stay but Some Issues

hazardous dumbbells high minibar prices

The location was good with beaches nearby and an easy walk to the center.

The gym equipment was poor with hazardous dumbbells. The weights fell off easily. Breakfast was disappointing. Flies were all over the cold food. I also found the minibar prices very high. 2.50 For a bottle of water seemed excessive.
