Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were beautifully decorated with a calm ambiance and excellent location, overlooking the sea and offering great views of historic buildings and the harbor. The service was top-notch, with attentive and kind staff who went out of their way to make my stay memorable. The location was superb, right on the water and near everything I wanted to see and do. Dining was fantastic with plenty of choices. Overall, a wonderful experience with just a minor downside of paying extra for some amenities.
The hotel is like stepping into someone's old summer villa with stunning views to the bay. The rooms are spotlessly clean and equipped with everything we needed. The service was outstanding, with a genuine care for all the details and great local area insights from El Embarcadero. The location is simply perfection, overlooking the boardwalk and marina, offering a sense of bourgeois history and tranquility. The dining experience was excellent with a variety of options, and the facilities were superb.
The hotel offers a small but comfortable room with everything we needed. The suite with a balcony overlooking the bay was fabulous, clean, and equipped with all essentials. The big terrace showcased a stunning sea view, making it a perfect stay. The only downside might be the size of the rooms, but they are still cozy and well-equipped.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was great, offering a quiet retreat with an excellent view, but the room with a sea view was small and in need of some maintenance. The service was mostly good except for a minor hiccup with the opened wine bottle. The dining experience was pleasant, with a self-service option, but the breakfast timing was off. Overall, a nice place for a relaxing getaway with some room for improvement.
