The day we arrived was a holiday, so the pool was open to hotel guests. We had it to ourselves. The weather was perfect and a rooftop swim to close a hot summer’s day was just what we needed. We were lucky as the pool is generally not available for guest use. Rather, it is reserved for functions and events.
This hotel is very pleasant. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The room was simple and clean. The location is ideally close to the beach, the ancient town, and other nearby attractions, but in quiet surroundings. The food court, bookstore and coffee shop on the ground level were convenient, with the bookstore providing a quiet, comfortable place to read or work.
On our last day, after we had checked out, we went for a bike ride and were caught in a heavy downpour. The staff kindly let us use the pool change rooms to change out of our wet clothes and dry off.
