I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The view from my room was stunning, but it was disappointing that the sheets weren't cleaned properly since the washing machine was broken. The location was fantastic, just steps away from the beach and the town. Overall, it's good for the price, but some aspects need improvement.

The hotel has a fantastic location right by the beach and close to the Medina, which is a huge plus. The rooms offer a lovely sea view and are equipped with beautiful cotton sheets, but I found them lacking extra towels and bedding. The staff was friendly, but the onsite dining was not included and left much to be desired. Overall, it’s a decent place to stay, but the lack of cleanliness and some service issues brought it down a notch.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, right by the beach and close to the Medina, which I loved. The rooms were pretty and had lovely cotton sheets, but they weren't cleaned well since they were having issues with their washing machine. The staff was friendly, but a lack of towels made my stay a bit uncomfortable. Overall, it's a good spot but could use some improvements in service and room cleanliness.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the plus side, the rooms offered a lovely view, and the cotton sheets were a nice touch. However, the cleanliness was lacking as the sheets hadn’t been washed due to a broken washing machine, and there were no extra towels or bedding available. The location right by the beach was great, but the noise from the street made it hard to relax. Overall, it wasn’t the ideal stay I had hoped for.

The hotel has a beautiful sea view and the rooms are comfortable with lovely cotton sheets. However, the cleaning situation is less than ideal, as housekeeping seems to be struggling due to a broken washing machine. Overall, it's a great value for money considering the location near the beach, but the lack of extra towels and bedding was a bit inconvenient.

My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The location is absolutely perfect, just a stone's throw from the enormous Town Beach, making it super convenient. The rooms were cozy with lovely cotton sheets, but they were not cleaned properly due to some laundry issues, which was a bit disappointing. The staff was friendly, which helped to lift my overall experience. I found the value for money reasonable, but the lack of Wi-Fi included was a letdown.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the one hand, the rooms had lovely cotton sheets and offered a beautiful sea view, making my stay quite pleasant. However, I was disappointed that the rooms weren't cleaned properly due to laundry issues, and there were no extra towels or bedding available. The service was decent, but it could use some improvement. The location was fantastic, being close to the town center and the port, making it very convenient for exploring the area.

The hotel has a fantastic location right at the Medina and also by the beach, which is perfect for exploring. The rooms offer a lovely view, and the cotton sheets are a nice touch, but the cleaning situation was a bit odd since they have to wash the sheets by hand because the washer is broken. On the downside, I didn’t find any extra towels or bedding provided. Overall, it has great potential, but the service and amenities could use some improvement.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be in a fantastic location, just steps away from the beach and close to the main tourist area. The rooms, while comfortable, lack a bit in cleanliness as they weren't fully serviced due to a laundry issue. The dining experience was good with refined dishes, but I wished breakfast was included. Overall, it offers decent value for money, but there are areas for improvement.
