The public sandy beach is 2.5 km away, reachable on the third coastal line, with paid umbrellas and sun loungers.

Reviews
The hair dryer wasn't powerful enough and was in a weird position.
The facilities are rather old, far away from the city, and the cost performance is not good enough.
We were even upgraded the first stay and we loved the use of the spa and terrace.
Negatives - The hotel is a little bit out of the centre and it's really not a nice area. There are also pictures which suggest a pool but this is actually a jacuzzi which is part of the spa and costs €16 / person.
The worst part was the staff, very unhelpful in general and if you do decide to stay here (which I wouldn't recommend) make sure you are very careful of your belongings! We left something at the room of value which disappeared (obviously our fault for leaving in the first place so not blaming them for that) but it's not a nice feeling that you can't trust the hotel staff you are staying with. They were also less than helpful about the situation, as we called them multiple times asking them to check the room and each time they said they would call us back but didn't and didn't respond to messages.
Overall it's overpriced for not a very nice hotel and unhelpful staff , don't recommend!
