I would like my money back for false advertisement. Expedia should have checked on the property and they would have seen that the pictures were desiving. I could have used my $850 on a nice room from a hotel I could trust.

Lovely courtyard. Breakfast was same everyday but nice. Standard room small but updated. Very close to train station but a little further to beach and restaurants. Skimpy with bathroom items. Had to ask several times during our long stay for things. Please more and better towels. Housekeeping did not come on third day as indicated by email sent.

A 15 minute walk to the beach. Nice sized rooms and an excellent kitchen amenity as well as charming doors with access to the garden area. Staff were friendly and offered both breakfast and an evening wine reception. This listing claims there's a fitness center or gym on site, but there isn't. It might be part of the associated property that's a block away, but is not on site. Would stay again
