I couldn't have asked for a better location, right in front of the beach and close to fantastic restaurants. The rooms, though quite small with no windows, were surprisingly cozy especially with the pull-down sofa bed. The balcony offered stunning views, just amazing! On the downside, it felt a bit claustrophobic without proper windows.
