Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a lovely terrace, but unfortunately, it doesn't receive sunlight. The rooms are spacious with a very big balcony. The service is excellent, including housekeeping and a convenient airport shuttle. The hotel is very close to the beach and the vibrant nightlife at Somos. The dining experience includes delicious homemade ice cream. Overall, a comfortable stay with good value for money.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms come with a very big balcony but lack natural sunlight. While I appreciated having a supposedly own terrace, the lack of sunlight was a downside. The service was good overall with efficient housekeeping; however, the paid shuttle service was a bit expensive. The location was convenient, being within walking distance of various restaurants and the vibrant nightlife at Somos. Although the enclosed restaurant area was nice, the proximity to the beach was a highlight. The dining experience was enjoyable, especially with the delicious homemade bread included. The facilities were satisfactory, catering to basic needs, but lacked any standout features.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the upside, the rooms come with a very big balcony, but unfortunately, my own terrace had no sunlight at all. The service was excellent, but the dining options were quite traditional. The location has the potential to be a nice social area, but the enclosed restaurant felt a bit limiting.
