Lovely clean hotel, close to the beach and centre of old town. Yara Costa and other staff at the hotel were wonderful and so pleasant. Only thing I would say is that if you’re a light sleeper then this isn’t a hotel for you, the bars are quite loud and until early hours of the morning. But the hotel can not be faulted, very clean and a comfortable.

Decent breakfast with helpful servers and some hot choices. Somewhat crazy floor layout requires some elevator changes. Not for people with a fear of heights, because it’s perched over the city center. Big shaded balcony. District noisy at night, kind of tacky and touristy. Few attractions.

On arrival we asked to upgrade our room. The staff went above and beyond to arrange this swiftly, even though the hotel was really busy We changed rooms the following day. The staff are very welcoming and accommodating. Its a lively area so its not for people that want quiet nights. My partner and i absolutely loved it and plan to come back next year
