    Quiet and amazing hotel, I appreciated satisfactory breakfast!

    the location was particularly good, right at spanish dancer divers diving center. it was located in a great area not far from the beach and the fishermen village and the beach area where food establishments are found. my queen room was cheap, had an exceptionally comfortable bed. a shower and towels was a plus.
