La ubicación es buena, los precios muy accesibles en temporada baja y es muy limpio el lugar... Aunque la encargada parece estar malhumorada eternamente y eso rompe el encanto. Las habitaciones son muy rústicas, limpias y ordenadas, pero se ve que no ha tenido mantenimiento en muchos años, lo cual deteriora la imagen. Si no te importa la experiencia del hotel, para estar frente al mar está muy bien.
