I had a really enjoyable stay at this hotel, which is just a short stroll from Citara beach and close to many attractions like the thermal park. The rooms offered lovely views of the sea and were clean, though a bit basic. The dining experience was excellent with a variety of delicious dishes every evening. Although I had a few minor concerns about the beach cleanliness and the overall bus schedule, I would definitely return for the friendly atmosphere and the quality of the food.
