The larger swimming pool at the front of the hotel was lovely and was the perfect blend of there always being sunbeds available no matter what the time of day. If you want to venture away from the hotel the town and local ferry port are only a short 5-10 minute walk away. Anyone thinking of staying at this hotel won't be disappointed."
