About

Rooms feature oceanfront balconies where guests can unwind with views of the coastline and, on clear nights, the moonlit sea. While the hotel’s style is approachable rather than modern, its friendly staff and lively atmosphere make it a welcoming choice for small group stays and events near the beach.
