This hotel is a cozy gem, offering basic kitchen amenities in the bedroom. The staff is exceptionally friendly, and the location strikes a perfect balance; it's great for chilling around the area while still being close enough to explore the beach and nearby town. Although the tapas dining experience here is top-notch, the paid shuttle service may deter some budget-conscious travelers.
