Transfer to the hotel from airport about 30 minutes. An old hotel at the beginning of Costera. About 350 m from the beach.

I was in a room right next to the pool closest to the entrance. For whatever reason other travelers photos of their room look way better than mine. The room was clean but smelled like it had been smoked in everyday for 50 years. Staff was friendly and nothing ever went missing from me. This seems like a pretty safe... More

We were treated nicely and our rooms were clean . The food was good and fresh. A basic budget property that people return to year after year. Some for over 35 yrs. We will go again Jan. 2011 but for 28 days. Met lots of nice people there. The stall were all friendly and most managed English. More
