Every time we come it gets better and better. This is a quiet and homey place to stay. The marina provided a picturesque view, making the stay quite enjoyable for water enthusiasts. Yelaine at the reception stood out with her exceptional hospitality, ensuring a warm welcome and addressing any inquiries with a friendly demeanor. Her attentive service added a personal touch to the overall positive impression of the hotel.

Everithing was ok, but there is not a beach. The sea area for swimming was dirty and there was no one to clean it. Despite everything, it is a beautiful place that I recommend visiting.
