I had a great stay at this hotel! The rooms are the usual holiday self-catering style you'd expect, and mine was well-equipped, spacious, and clean. Although I stayed in a studio overlooking the road, next time, I'd opt for a pool view to catch that lovely sun on the balcony. The twin beds were comfortable, and the additional flat screen TV was a nice touch. The wardrobe space was ample, and the electronic safe, available for hire at 15 euros with a 10 euro deposit (refundable), was convenient.
