8.4/10

The hotel has an amazing location right across from the beach and is within walking distance to many attractions. The rooms are spacious, resembling a one-bedroom apartment, and well-equipped for anything you'd need during your vacation. Unfortunately, my stay was a bit disrupted by noise from the courtyard, especially early in the morning. Despite the responsive and friendly staff, who went above and beyond to help, the overall experience was marred by some disturbances.

I found the rooms quite spacious and equipped like a one-bedroom apartment, but mine faced the inner courtyard, which was noisy at night and early in the morning.

The service was absolutely fantastic. The staff were all really friendly and attentive, and I can't thank Benny and Matti enough for making my stay special.
