I am especially happy with both of the young men that helped me park my car in the garage and the young man who helped me set up the GPS in my car on the day of departure. Please give both of these young men my deepest thanks. Also let them know we arrived at our destination in Spain with no problems. Thank you so very much !!!!!

Great stay
Fantastic quaint little hotel.
Perfect location for the sea front, not far from the airport and small walk to the train.
The hotel is small, but the rooms good size. Shower great and beds comfy.
