“Seaside Hotel”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

We stayed here for two nights on a CIE tour. The hotel is located right on the bay. It is outside of the city center (bus or taxi ride is best way). The staff was very friendly. They came around and took pictures of the tables at dinner and promised to email us all copies. Meals were very good.

“Good location”

This is a big hotel conveniently located. We stayed here for two nights recently and were pleased with the overall experience. Unfortunately we had asked for non smoking rooms and received the opposite. Our room was so heavily sprayed with air freshener that we needed to keep the windows open for a few hours to be able to breathe. On... More
