We had a delightful stay in Essence Boutique Hotel. The hotel has clearly been recently refurbished to a high standard and the rooms are very comfortable and well appointed. The balcony especially was lovely. The pool area is beautiful with a mixture of loungers and beds. The hotel is well located for the beach, restaurants and nightlife and the staff were lovely. Would love to stay here again.

We stayed from July 1, 2026, to July 11, 2026. The hotel is small, which is a good thing because it's always spacious and uncrowded during breakfast and dinner. The food is varied and delicious. The staff is very responsive and friendly. We only used the pool twice because we always wanted to be on the beach and swim in the sea.

Small hotel with 75 rooms, that was very comfortable, quiet and overall a very pleasant experience. We were B&B and Breakfast was excellent, buffet but very calm, fresh orange juice, fresh fruit and we were able to eat outside besides the pool. 3 Jacuzzi's with plenty of availability when w were there - mid Jul. We used the Buffet evening meal one night - at 27Euro is good quality and good value. Hotel is a few metres from the promenade and hence beach. With only one person on reception getting checked-in, even after completing on-line check-in, was slow.
