| Other than the construction in the rooms next to ours, it is a very nice hotel. It is right on the beach and next to the marina. The dinner buffet was not worth 25 Euros and didn't have many choices to eat. Room service was good and the jr suite was nice. The bathtub is rather small (I am 5'0 and couldn't stretch out) but always had hot water. I would give it a 4 1/2 stars rating.
