Despite not being located directly on the beach, the hotel compensates with a range of attractive amenities, including several inviting pools. The quiet location, a bit removed from the village center, offers a serene environment ideal for a relaxing getaway. For those who prefer not to walk, transportation options and proximity to lovely local villages ensure that guests can easily explore the area.
