Nice nice place, very friendly reception, good price compared to other hotels, its a bit old and not renewed for many years but its clean which is the most important thing, the old style has a bit charm. I have came here 3-4 times in the last 4-5 years. Always the same Greetings from Denmark

The most hospitable welcome we've ever had... Lovely lovely people. Made our stay short stay truly memorable and we were on a really tight budget. Great pool, lovely clean rooms... Brilliantly powerful shower. The location is the best.. Near to spectacular beaches and brilliant archaeology. However, it is the people who made it such a good place.. Really fantastic.

From Canada, Stayed 3 days and received wonderful service for a steal of a price. Another reviewer said this place was dated, but it’s part of its charm. The pool was great and hardly anyone else used it so we had it to ourselves. The cleaning staff made our beds every day while we were away and gave us new towels, the pillows were comfy, the view from our balcony was pretty looking over the pool. The man whom I think is in charge named Sandro(?) was so sweet and polite. Took very good care of us. I’d recommend this place to anyone, especially backpackers needing some downtime!
