Is this stay right for you?
A straightforward beachfront hotel with two pools and basic self-catering facilities — practical rather than polished, but well-placed on Salad Beach.
Best for
- Couples or solo travellers wanting direct beach access
- Guests who prefer a private kitchen over eating out every meal
- Drivers needing free on-site parking
- Longer stays on a mid-range budget
Less suited to
- Travellers expecting resort-level service
- Groups needing interconnecting rooms or larger layouts
- Those relying solely on the guest score as a confidence marker
Beachfront position and private beach
The hotel sits on the Salad Beach shoreline with a dedicated private beach area. Guests can move directly from the property to the sand, which is the primary draw for most bookings here.
Two swimming pools
Two pools sit on the property — an unusual provision for a hotel at this price point on Salad Beach. Room balconies in all categories look out over the pool as well as the sea and surrounding hills.
Sea-view rooms with private kitchens
Every room category, from the 15 m² single up to the 45 m² deluxe double, includes a private kitchen and a balcony. Views take in the sea, garden, pool, and mountain, depending on the angle.
On-site restaurant and bar
A restaurant and bar operate within the property. Breakfast is available on-site, and the bar means guests are not dependent on leaving the property for an evening drink.
