Best location

Great location in the heart of the old town. Second stay at the hotel, ideally placed for the beach and the shops/restaurants. Hotel is nice and clean with stylish contemporary decor. Parking is across the road - convenient but expensive.

Cute hotel, staff was awesome, rooftop was a plus, everyday there is a drink special, Tiago was an awesome bartender. If your going there to party your in the right place, if you want to rest and re charge not the hotel for you it’s on the party street and very loud until 3-4 am. Breakfast was also great. Beach is a 2-3 m walk.

Great location and convenient to walk around and the room is clean but for some reason, when we woke up next day, there were all these flies? Bugs? coming in thru bathroom sink pipes in the bathtoom. it was scary and disgusting.. and its very very noisy not from the hotel but restaurants and bars near the hotel that goes on all night..so if u r a light sleeper, bring ear plugs. Besides these 2 thigs, everything else is good.
