I had a wonderful stay at this hotel from 1-14 January. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and provide great facilities, from the beautifully renovated bathroom to the rooftop terrace where I happily enjoyed a drink each evening at sunset watching the ships gliding up-and-down the Marmare Sea and swapping travel stories with fellow guests. The owner/manager's personality and presence, along with the friendly and helpful service by Gaye, Greg, and the local staff, made my stay truly enjoyable. The location is unbeatable, perfect for exploring all major attractions with plenty of charming local restaurants nearby.
