The refurbished room included a fridge. A large balcony offered views. Breakfast provided a plentiful buffet, and the staff replenished items well. The rooftop bar has very nice views offering a selection of beers and cocktails.
I found the towels to be of poor quality. I also had to request shower gel refills.

The room was spacious enough. It came equipped with a TV. The bed was comfortable... the balcony offered great views of the pool and sea providing a relaxing space to unwind after a day exploring.

The hotel's location is right on the promenade. It allows for short walks to the marina. This proximity makes it easy to enjoy local attractions and dining options. Public transportation is within easy reach.
