If you are looking for peace and quiet you've come to the right place. The rooms are comfortable and clean and also have a fridge and microwave. Fyi, there is no room service. The staff are very friendly and Paco the parrot is hilarious. Breakfast is included as well as free parking. No need to rush down to get a chair and umbrella, you can book online in your room or on a app. You basically have the waters of the beach to yourself here. Hardly anyone was in the water during my stay. The restaurants can be a bit pricey but worth it imo. However there are other walkable nearby restaurants and a small shopping village to pick up necessities within 5 minutes. For all you degenerates there's also a small casino nearby. But if you are looking for a party atmosphere this is not the place
