Nice hotel right on the beach
Everything was nice about this hotel. We were happy to find a place that would accommodate a group of five. Two bedrooms were comfortable and each room has an AC. The hotel has a small pool but we never used it as the sea is right there and the water is clean and pleasant. The cafe is absolutely charming and serves good food. The owner of the hotel, Sophia, was very kind and provided us with all the information we needed in terms of places to visit, how to get there, etc.
