    The hotel is just 30m from the main street and the beach, so everything is super close. It has great surroundings with green trees, and the hotel has a garden bar (and a reception). The room was spacious, with air-conditioning and a terrace...

    Great location, easy parking, friendly owners. A small room was all we needed for a couple days at the beach. As a bonus, beach umbrellas were available for us to use!
