The staff that helped us to our rooms and checked us in were very helpful and welcoming. Our stay in the B&B apartments itself however, was pretty disappointing. The room was dark and when you opened the blinds you are overlooked from every window including in the bathroom. The room was in need of renovation particularly in the bathroom where the cabinetry was old and rusting in places. No shower curtain or screen so the whole bathroom gets soaked when you wash. Breakfast was really good. There was a full intercontinental spread as well as local dishes- all very delicious.

Okay for a few days
I was in the apartments not the main hotel. They are about a 100m away through a smelly alley and down a side street. They're decent. The balcony didn't have a chair which I asked for on day 1 and never got. You use the main hotel facilities. Beach/pool are nice. Slightly too close to the port for my liking and a huge shipping boat was in front of the hotel for most of my stay. The diesel smoke it let off wasn't pleasant.
